Welcome to the City of Biddeford Skatepark Informational Page!
Information regarding city plans for a new skatepark in the Biddeford community will be posted here. Items that we anticipate posting on this page include:
1. Municipal meetings where skatepark initiatives will be discussed.
2. Opportunities for volunteer involvement, including but not limited to fundraising, design discussions, etc.
3. Links to materials as plans are developed, including but not limited to RFPs, concept designs, local articles, etc.
This page is maintained by the Recreation Department. Our goal for creating this page is to share information regarding future development updates as they are known and create a public page that is available to all visitors to view without requiring an account on our site or submitting your email to receive updates. We will continue to work on the format of this page as more details are added to make sure links and information are accessible. We are aware that some events/meetings are scheduled short-notice when time sensitive decisions are required, and will make all efforts to keep this page updated in a timely fashion.
It is evident from the many voices that have participated in community discussions, council meetings, and responded to the Recreation Community Assessment survey that this is a valued outdoor recreational space in Biddeford. Having access to a fun and safe skatepark speaks to a variety of benefits for visitors through exercise, social interaction, supporting positive mental health, creating feelings of inclusion, access to the outdoors and nature, offering intergenerational activities, and the list goes on. Thank you to all that have advocated to see a skatepark return. We appreciate your patience, support, input, and enthusiasm in this process as the City of Biddeford works to develop plans for a future skatepark in this community!
For any questions related to the city’s skatepark planning process, please contact Recreation Director, Lisa Thompson, at lisa.thompson@biddefordmaine.org.
