Roberts Skate Park

730 N. 78th St
(One block north of Cass)

The City of Omaha's first Skate Park was opened October 25th, 1999 at Robert Park with the novice and pro skater in mind. Special thinks to the local skateboarders and in-line skaters who were actively involved with the design of this facility. Their ideas and suggestions were incorporated in the design and construction of this great skate park.

Roberts Skate Park is a 14,000 square foot facility constructed of concrete. The park includes various skill levels. Urban elements include ramps, stairs, quarter pipes, a grinding block and fun box. The flat area transitions into a snake run that empties into a 4 ft and a 7 ft bowl.

Two silhouettes of skate boarders, fashioned from galvanized steel, watch over the park entrance. These are dedicated in honor to the late Mathew Kress and Tommy Craft who campaigned for a place where skateboarders would be welcome. The plaque reads:

RESPECT ONE ANOTHER
In Memory of Mathew Kress and Tommy Craft
