Ocala Skatepark Phase 2 is coming to life. The current design, recently approved by the City of Ocala, is about creating strong connections to existing features, allowing for the integration of new elements into the existing context, while complementing and enhancing their surroundings. With soft lines and an inviting landscape, it features various elements and includes a snake run, medium-size bowl, larger competition-size bowl, and beginner course to promote progression for any skater that visits the park.

The snake run will be designed to be user-friendly for both beginner and experienced skaters, with non-intimidating features.

The advanced competition bowl with true vertical walls provides a place specifically for experienced skaters to continue to develop their skills. Ocala has a long history of breeding professional skateboarders that compete on the global level. We aim to honor the rich history of vert skating that has come from Ocala and continue the legacy of those who paved the way.

Understanding that transition features are level-specific, we will design and build bowls keeping a progression path in mind.

The beginner course offers multiple progressive features of banks, ledges, quarter-pipes, and rails, all allowing for users to build confidence as their skills continue to grow. These exact streetstyle features are not found within the rest of the existing or phased elements, and will deliver the best possible progression path for skaters in the region. This specific terrain will honor the traditional multi-use roots of skateboarding in a modern sense.

We are stoked about moving into the next design phase, construction documentation, and then onto the build. The plan and perspective views below give you a good reference of what to expect come opening day.
