Bellevue Skate Parks (indoor and outdoor)

Bellevue Skate Parks has two skateboarding facilities at Highland Park — the original Bellevue Skate Park, including an indoor haven for boarders to escape bad weather, and the Highland Skate Plaza, an outdoor space devoted to street skating.
(Indoor) Bellevue Skate Park features a Pro Shop and ramps for all levels, including a 3.5’ mini ramp, 8.5’ vert ramp, wall rides, banks, ledges, rails, a micro mini mega, and 28 feet of pool coping on its 6’ quarter pipe. The park provides a sense of community and ownership to all participants, regardless of age, experience or level of participation. Bellevue’s first skate park was created in 1994 as part of a Youth Link project. It is renovated annually by skateboarders. Over 100,000 skateboarders have joined since the park opened.
(Outdoor) Highland Outdoor Skate Plaza is a 13,000 square-foot skate plaza that replicates some of the world’s favorite street skate spots. Instead of half-pipes or bowls, it resembles everyday obstacles, including various ledges, banks, stairs, hubbas, rails, benches, gaps and barriers. Added in 2017 is a 24′ flat bar, an across and down rail, and a 40′ “slappy” curb. The surface was refinished and is very smooth. The plaza is lit for evening skateboarding or rollerblading.
(Outdoor) Crossroads Park features one of the best bowls in the area. With depths from 4-9.5 feet, hips, escalators, tombstone, and an over-vertical “clamshell.” This is a massive bowl within a park full of open sidewalks and plenty of space to skate.
Lakemont Park Skatebowl is a smaller skatepark with a great bowl. It also features ledges, a wall ride, a pyramid and more.
