Pompano Beach Breaks Ground on $1.8 Million Skatepark — A New Hub for Community, Creativity & Play

Pompano Beach is rolling out something big—literally. The City has officially launched an $1.8 million project to build a brand-new, state-of-the-art skatepark at Pompano Community Park, with construction underway and an opening targeted for late 2026.

A Skatepark Years in the Making

This isn’t just another park amenity. After years of planning and community interest, city officials and Parks & Recreation leaders have brought a long-awaited vision to life. The skatepark will span approximately 20,000 square feet and is designed to accommodate riders of all skill levels—from beginners just finding their balance to seasoned boarders testing their limits.

According to Scott Moore, Pompano’s Parks & Recreation Director, the facility will include a competition-level kidney-shaped bowl, providing a dynamic space for riders to practice flow, tricks, and full runs. (Tap Into)

Celebrating Community Input

What sets this project apart is how it came together—with input from local skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter enthusiasts, and neighborhood stakeholders. That community-driven design means features will be thoughtfully built to serve a wide variety of interests and abilities, making the space inclusive and fun for everyone. (Pompano Beach Parks)

Whether someone is learning their first ollie or casually cruising with friends, the new skatepark aims to be a place where folks of all ages can gather, connect, and stay active outdoors.

Funding & Forward Momentum

The project carries a roughly $1.8 million price tag, funded through a mix of federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars and local park impact funds—a reflection of the city’s investment in health, recreation, and youth engagement. (Pompano Beach)

City leaders broke ground in early December, marking a milestone moment in expanding Pompano Beach’s recreational offerings. Construction began immediately after the ceremony, and crews are hard at work transforming this vision into reality.

What It Means for Pompano Beach

For many residents, this skatepark represents more than just concrete ramps and bowls—it’s a community hub in the making. Parks like this can:

• Promote physical activity and healthy lifestyles
• Offer safe, supervised spaces for youth to gather
• Build community pride and local identity

And with its strategic location at Pompano Community Park, the skatepark will be easily accessible to neighboring schools, families, and recreation seekers throughout the city.

Looking Ahead

As Pompano Beach continues to grow and evolve, investments like this new skatepark help broaden what the city has to offer giving residents new reasons to get outside, stay active, and feel connected to their community.
