About Riverside Skatepark
Riverside Skatepark in Detroit is a standout 15,000 sq ft concrete playground tucked into Riverside Park at 3511 W Jefferson Ave on the city’s southwest riverfront. Built in 2019 by Grindline Skateparks with support from the Tony Hawk Foundation, this flowy masterpiece includes a central large bowl with pool coping, plus spines, mini‑ramps, hips, ledges, handrails, funboxes, stairs and more. You can skate here daily from 6 AM to 10 PM for free, under lights that keep sessions rolling well into the evening. The park sits in a scenic riverside setting beneath the Ambassador Bridge, a backdrop praised by riders on Reddit as delivering “nice lines right on the river”. It also includes picnic tables, shade gazebos, water fountains, and even a dog‑friendly vibe nearby in the larger park. Landscape and city supporters consider Riverside part of a broader revitalization of the 29‑acre riverside site. Whether you’re hitting the deep bowl, sliding a curb, snapping a wallride, or piecing together a hybrid street‑to‑transition line, this park delivers top‑tier concrete flow, urban views, and an inclusive community atmosphere. It’s widely celebrated as one of Michigan’s best skate spots and a must‑visit in Metro Detroit.
