Catoctin Skatepark is a 12,000 square foot lighted skating area for inline skaters, skateboarders, and bikes*. Built by the Town of Leesburg’s Parks and Recreation Department in conjunction with the Friends of Ida Lee, the area includes and assortment of obstacles, benches, picnic tables, staff office, vending machines, and free parking.
The design includes a skating surface skimmed with 1;5 inches of asphalt and coated to provide a smooth skating surface, as well as an assortment of obstacles- launch ramps, fun boxes, rail slides, and half pipes- to challenge skaters’ skills. As an example of the design elements included in the park, the half-pipe structure is a “U” shaped piece of equipment, the most popular in the past decade. Skaters drop in from 10 foot high verticals and skate back upward to the other side.
The facility was developed through a unique collaboration effort, initiated by a group of young Leesburg skaters, that included public and private financial support, the in-kind donation of services, and grass roots fundraising efforts ranging from raffles and food sales to the “Battle of the Bands” special events.
Catoctin Skatepark is one of a kind in Northern Virginia. If you would like more information call 703-737-7132, or email the Outdoor Facilities Supervisor.
