Craig Ranch Regional Park
This 65,000-square-foot, competition-style park is “the best skatepark in the U.S.,” according to Death Drop Roller Skate Shop owner Cindy Moreno. Transitional and street features appeal to a variety of skaters. “The surface is really smooth. It just has a lot for beginners, intermediate and advanced.”
Morrell Skatepark
Nestled in old Henderson off Boulder Highway and just west of Heritage Park, Morrell Skatepark has ramps for both kids and advanced skaters.
Mountain Ridge Skatepark
This above-ground skatepark is good for beginners in park skating, with plenty of flat ground and a variety of ramps to practice on.
Desert Breeze Park Skatepark
This in-ground skatepark is a favorite of local youths, and has a hockey rink for practice on flat ground.
Anthem Skatepark
This in-ground skatepark is frequented by neighborhood kids, as it’s right next to a middle school. The concrete jungle of bowls, ramps and rails satisfy advanced skaters, too.
