Powhatan Springs Skatepark, Arlington Virginia

Arlington Skatepark Powhatan Springs Skatepark Arlington skate park

WHERE: 6020 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, Virginia 22205

WHAT: Concrete park with a massive bowl and small, but decent size street course. The bowl has both pool and metal coping, and depths and transitions varying incrementally from 4 to 12 feet. The street course is made up of stairs, banks, ledges, a rail or two, and this awkwardly fun concrete nipple.

GOOD:The concrete surface is well made and maintained. It’s another one of Virginia’s few outdoor, concrete parks. This park isn’t very big, and yet has a really wide variety of things to skate, without all the lines converging. There is something for you to skate, no matter what level, stance, or style you skate.

BAD:It’s a really popular park. This isn’t really a drawback, since it ensures the place will probably be around for a while, but it is usually pretty crowded.

PADS: only helmet required

FREE OR PAY: pay

DIRECTIONS: google maps

OVERALL:If you skate at all, there is something here for you. Real fun.

    So in the day time (the un-managed time, 8-3:30) I’m guessing it’s not very crowded cuz school is in. Is it free to come in during that time?

    is this park any good? I see a ledge that isnt skateable up at top of hill due to no speed.

    I think it costs $6 to enter, but I’ve been to more expensive parks.

    Keifer, bikes are permitted at the park. They are permitted during the free sessions and there is a bike session on Sundays at 5pm.
