Skateboard fans and inline skaters of all ages can enjoy specially designed
skate spots that are also in close proximity to Montgomery County Recreation
Centers. This means public facilities that cater to older and younger kids
offer relief from the chill or heat, and extend your day of recreation! Parents
can relax or take a class with a younger sibling at a nearby community recreation
center while their big kids explore the skate park or spot. Here are four
skate facilities that are also near County Recreation Centers. While some of
these are not run by Montgomery County Recreation , they are nearby and can add
to your family’s fun!

of ramps, humps, rails, and more to keep skaters entertained and challenged and
it’s next door to other outdoor fields and courts that are part of the Damascus
Community Recreation Center. The park is open when the recreation center is
open. Skaters are welcome to stop into the Rec center to cool off or warm up,
and grab a quick game of pool or air hockey in the game room!
