Free Skate & Open Park
Open floor time for skateboard, BMX, scooter and inline, at no cost to ride.
Our Vision
Somewhere to ride, belong, learn and grow. Year-round.
We envision a vibrant, welcoming action-sports community where Fargo-Moorhead youth have a safe, positive place to ride, belong, learn, and grow year-round.
Through physical activity, personal connection, and shared experiences, youth of all skill levels and riding styles can pursue their passions, build confidence, form meaningful relationships, and develop qualities that serve them for a lifetime. Regardless of the season, or where they are in their journey.

Outdoor parks unusable
Rideable outside
Harsh Fargo winters keep riders off outdoor parks for over half the year. An indoor facility is the only way this community gets to ride in every season.
Our Mission
More than recreation
Our mission is to create a safe, accessible, inclusive, year-round indoor action-sports facility for the Fargo-Moorhead community where youth can skateboard, BMX, scooter, inline skate, and ride together.
Through recreation, mentorship, instruction, events, and community partnerships, we give young people the chance to stay active, build confidence and positive relationships, and experience a genuine sense of belonging.

The Building
Gotta have a place to land
Once upon a time a group of Fargo friends got together for a road trip to the cities to visit the closest indoor skatepark, 3rd Lair. After two days there they left completely in awe that places like this exist, and started dreaming about how it could happen in Fargo.
Combining their passion for youth and for skateboarding, they began looking into how it could become a reality.
The building is the crucial piece. Harsh Fargo winters stop riders from doing what they love for over half the year, and an indoor facility is how we meet that need. A lot of our cost estimates are based on 3rd Lair.
