Recently completed and now open to the public, this state-of-the-art, innovatively designed skatepark provides long-time residents and visitors of all ages with a fun, safe gathering place for outdoor play.
The Batesville Area Skatepark Advocacy group and the City of Batesville are pleased to announce that the Batesville Skatepark and Outdoor Adventure is now open to the public. After a year of planning and fundraising, the 11,000-square-foot space was designed to encourage physical activity and creative outdoor play for people of all ages and skill levels at no cost.
“A new, state-of-the-art, modern skatepark will provide Batesville youth with a great opportunity to get outdoors and have fun, while also serving as a real attraction for folks from surrounding counties to travel to our community to use the skatepark,” said Mayor Mike Bettice. “The skatepark will also allow for easy access to Liberty Park and other amenities and will be easily accessible by the trail system.”
The design of this space was brought to life by Hunger Skateparks, a skateboarder-owned and operated, full-service concrete skatepark design and build company. Their designs are innovative, balanced, and engaging for all styles and levels of skateboarding. The approach to designing the park involved a high level of collaboration within the community.
