James B. Tedesco Memorial Skate Park

Located at 4th & Scott Street Skate Park

Originally constructed in 2012, the James B. Tedesco Memorial skate park is a state of the art, poured in place concrete skate park.  The park is centrally located at 4^th and Scott Street, one block north of the Fisher park complex, ideally located near Buck Run Community Center and our brand new swimming pool complex.  The park is a perfect combination of street, flow and traditional skate park elements, featuring a snake run with bowl cutouts, a brick stamped china bank, hipped quarter pipes, hubbas, rails, gaps and much more.

The park is public use, and is well suited for use by skateboarders, roller blades, scooters and more. Helmets are not required but suggested and benches and trashcans are provided for anyone who would like to enjoy watching the skaters perform.

The only park of its kind in the surrounding area, the skate park attracts visitors and skaters from all over South East Kansas and Western Missouri.  We have even had the pleasure of hosting several professional skate teams, who drop in from time to time to enjoy the park.

In late 2014, through the generosity of the Tedesco Family, we began a $50,000 phase 2 expansion which will include additional skate park elements allowing for more room to spread out and more skaters to enjoy the park. The expansion will also include the addition of lights for extended park usage. The phase 2 expansion is currently underway and is scheduled for completion in the Spring/early Summer 2015. Skaters are encouraged to continue using the park during the construction process.
