JACKSON, Wyo. — The Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation Skatepark will temporarily close Monday, April 24, due to construction that will expand the park and bring additional skate features.
The skatepark, located at 1374 Gregory Lane, next to the Jackson Hole High School athletic fields is expected to remain closed until this fall. This is the third phase and final addition to the park and adds 13,000 square feet to the exterior of the park.
Dreamland Skateparks has designed and constructed many of the top skateparks in the country and throughout the world, as well as phases one and two of the Jackson skatepark. The first phase was completed in 2001 and the second in 2006. The Teton County Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with Dreamland Skateparks, LLC, for the design of phase three of the Jackson Hole Skatepark back in January.
Phase three will expand the area outside of the current park, and will include a mini-ramp, a Pier 7 style ledge, decks, rails bumps a pole jam and more flat ground expanding the park to 27,575 square feet. The project is part of an ongoing public/private collaboration between donors, the skateboard community, Dreamland Skateparks, Teton County/Jackson Parks & Recreation, Teton County School District No. 1 and the State of Wyoming.
“Dreamland is honored to be a part of the phase three expansion for the Jackson Hole Skatepark,” said Dreamland Skateparks owner Danyel Scott. “I’d like to thank the extremely generous donors, amazing community and the Skatepark Association for making this dream come true for the community.”
Several Dreamland Skateparks local employees also constructed the Alpine skatepark’s expansion, and are excited to work on another local project for the Jackson skateboarding community.
