Calling all skaters and bladers! It is almost time to drop into Portsmouth, New Hampshire’s newest skate park. This place is incredible. If you’re like me and never really got into skating, the new skate park in Portsmouth might change your mind.
The new skate park broke ground and went under construction on May 25, 2023. Since then, workers have been working nonstop to get this thing ready.
They did an incredible job, and yes, it is just about ready. But there are plans to do much more with the skatepark than you probably think…
The new skatepark is located off Greenland Road (Route 33) as part of a phased build-out of the “Stump Dump” lot in the Master Plan, according to the City of Portsmouth website. This would also be the main access point to the NH Seacoast Greenway Route (Rail Trail).
Here is where the extras come in.
There are additional phases to this skate park to really make it a community place, not just for skaters. So phase one: Skate Park. Phase two, or three (who knows): walking paths, playground, additional parking, lighting, and field upgrades.
This is incredible news for the town. Adding in walking paths, a playground, and other features was a really great idea. Now, this skate park is not just for skaters. It’s for the whole community.
I am really looking forward to seeing the final product. There has been no news on the exact opening date of the park, but based on the pictures, it is coming really REALLY soon.
