Carpenter Park Skate Park Description St. Louis Park is a first-ring suburb of Minneapolis and is heavily connected by trail ways. One of the premier parks in St. Louis Park is Carpenter Park which is located at 4900 Highway 7, St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The park is 12.9 acres in size and is adjacent to the residential properties, police department and City Hall. An area on the southwest side of the park has been allocated for the skate park (see attachment 1). Carpenter Park has been designated as a signature park of the St. Louis Park system, and offers the following amenities: Baseball Fields (2) Proposed Skate Park Tennis Courts (3) Walking Trails Parking Open Green Space Picnic Area The original St. Louis Park skate park was located at the Rec Center, 3700 Monterey Drive, and was constructed in 2007. The park incorporated modular skating features resting on a concrete/asphalt pad. The modular skating features were removed in May 2016 due to the construction of an outdoor covered recreation complex. In 2015 the City of St. Louis Park interviewed many skate park users to gain an understanding of the amenities they would like in a skate park knowing that it had to be replaced. The primary input that came from the users was a park that has an emphasis on good ÐflowÑ and is composed of concrete for durability, a quality riding surface, and a plaza style park that would adhere to a variety of skill levels. There has also been a skate park sub-committee created which includes a Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission member and business owners of a local indoor skate park and skate shop.
