500 Blount Street Skatepark, Fayetteville North Carolina
WHERE: 500 Blount St Fayetteville, NC 28301
WHAT: An indoor park in a huge warehouse with wooden ramps, mostly bank ramps and ledges, but a few corners and wall-rides to make it interesting.
GOOD: There is a ton of space. A whole other room was in the works but not yet open when I passed through. The wood surface of the ramps is quality, and there is a pretty wide variety in the set up.
BAD: The concrete floor has a few chunky spots, and the craftsmanship on some of the ramps could be better.
PADS: none required
FREE OR PAY: pay
DIRECTIONS: google maps
OVERALL: The set up is huge, but a little weird. All in all, this place is fun. If you are in the area, check it out.

When I make a trip out to NC I will make sure to stop here. Looks cool
the park is awsome and im probably coming in july
Are bikes aloud here? This is near my grandmas house and I bmx so im just wondering.
with a basic mebership how much is a session?
I would contact the shop/park directly at 910-867-2424, since rates at a lot of skateparks tend to fluctuate.
this place can be fun and all but, the shop sucks and the people who run it dont have anything to do with skateboarding. the owner has never ridden a skateboard once in his life and he is in it for the money. if i were you, i wouldnt bother going to that park. it isnt a happy place at all. the ramps are in bad condition and no one sweeps the floor or ramps so its really dirty. none of the skaters around fayetteville go there because how bad the atmosphere is and they dont support corporate business owners. its your choice though, just warning you about how crappy the place is.
its really not that shitty, i’ve been. last summer, it was fun.
the place IS shitty, theres some good things about it but not much, its definitely way too much money for a park thats not taken care of at all, besides the atmosphere sucks dick, its the WORST park I’ve been to, and skaters in Fayetteville barely skate it
i like the place a lot butt i have to agree that it is really dirty and really dark and dusty but it is not that bade it just needs to have moor stuff in the glass box like moor baring,s wheels bords and 1 new set of stairs that is a 3 stair for all the kids that arent that good.
like i said before but i also think that it needs like 5 big fans so it keeps cool i there because when i skate it is realy HOT!! and i cant skate for the hole 3 hours because i,m to hot and tierd.
i think that he shuld open the skate shop and not have that wall there and he shuld have moor skate stufflike truks not siver siver is dumb and more skate bords like with disins and not plane and moor stuf like that and the stikers need to be whaere pepole can see theme and there shuld be some moor wheels like red all red and all blue and all other collers all of most all solid and some half coller
yo this is the one and only skate park that me and my friends go to every weekend this is also where i broke i blind deck.lol
this place is filthy and run down!
it’s run by a bunch of THEIVES, not a place for kids!
when it first opened it was better.
find somewhere else to skate, not worth your time or money.
my sweatshirt and ipod were stolen by the person that runs (what a joke) the place… he told me that it had been stolen, after i asked him to watch it, then he told me that EVERYBODY steels there, stuff always stolen…
my dad and i went back to confront this guy, I…, and after a big argument my stuff ‘mysteriously’ appeared!!
What a joke!!!!!!
500 is and awesome park man. its kinda expensive (12 dollars) but 4 da 3 hour sessions its worth it
worth it to see the park again. tonight we stopped by to skate and they had closed the park up and were cleaning it out. seems like a different vibe in the park now to but still nothing to buy. the one goofball is not working there anymore (indy with the long hair) and some lady is up there working now.
its not as bad as these people make it seem. Sure, it is kind of run down, but its a skatepark, and since when have the majority of skateboarders been concerned with being clean?
you guys made sure to counteract all the bad reviews of this shithole didnt ya?
its still a business so act like it.
FUCK YOU GUYS FOR TALKING SHIT ABOUT THIS PARK, YOU LITTLE FUCKING BITCHES ARE PROBABLY JUST MAD BECAUSE YOU COULD NOT DO SHIT HERE BECAUSE YOU FUCKING SUCK AT SKATEBOARDING
SO LEAVE THE DUDES ALONE, ITS A FUCKING SKATEPARK, YOU WANT A CLEAN GOOD ENVIRNOMENT PARK GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN, DAMN ITS NOT ABOUT WHAT THE PARK LOOKS LIKE OR IF IT IS A SHITHOLE,ITS ABOUT THE SKATEBOARDING THAT GOES ON THERE, DUMBASS FUCKING POSERS FAGGETS
from an older sk8r. ive skated at this park even before it was located on blount street. so several years. its nowhere near the best park. i agree. and i even think its closed now. there were a group of about 10 sk8rs that made the place bad. the ramps werent that great craftsmanship. the store was small. but it was alot better then the 300 dollar fine for skating in town. the first owners made the place so we would have a place to skate and they went bankrupt to do it so cuttem some slack. i agree about the last owners in it for the money and jacked the price up. i knew indy quite well and if you mellowed out a little you might just find he mearly lives to skate. he worked there so he could skate and yes he built most the ramps there himself so cut him some slack aswell. im a vert skater and nowhere within an hour can i skate vert. at least at blount i could skate something. indy if ye readin this you aint bad brother thanks for the effort you put in to help the young skaters have fun. ive recked many a time on the chips in the concreet and the vert wall actually went inward some. but overall it was worth the time i spent there. lep -check’d
do u allow bikes cause me and my friend cant find one that does
Hey I heard you guys closed down again. Just wondering what are the chances of you guys opening back up? I really hope you guys do and soon. I only made it there 2 times cause I just got stationed here and then you guys closed. I was really bummed when I found this out.
