New skatepark construction underway in Queen Anne's County

The Department of Parks and Recreation, alongside the County Commissioners, are excited to announce the construction of a new skatepark. The skatepark will be located in Stevensville on Cockey Lane behind Business Parkway and promises to be a dynamic addition to the recreational amenities of Queen Anne’s County.

Construction of the skatepark started in mid-April, with the American Ramp Company. The project is estimated to last between 10 to 12 weeks and is subject to weather conditions. Work is scheduled for Monday through Friday and will be complemented by plantings along the site’s perimeter.

Some key features:

Spanning 10,000 square feet, the skatepark will offer ample space for enthusiasts to hone their skills.

The skatepark will feature a diverse range of elements designed to challenge and inspire skaters of all levels, including Quarterpipes, ideal for practicing transitions and gaining momentum; Hubba Ledges, perfect for executing grinds and tricks; Bank Ramps, offering opportunities for flip tricks and beginner transitions.

Other feature include: Bank Kicker, providing speed and airtime for learning and practicing tricks; Grind Box, Rails, and Ledges, designed for various grinding and sliding maneuvers; A-Frame Bank, offering speed, momentum, and opportunities for air tricks; Manual Pad, perfect for mastering manuals or wheelies and a Skate Bowl, featuring drop-ins, air tricks, grinds, and carving opportunities.

“We are thrilled to see this desired community amenity brought to life,” remarked Steve Chandlee, director for Department of Parks and Recreation. “The skatepark represents a space where creativity, athleticism, and camaraderie can come together.”

As construction progresses, the county will provide additional updates. For inquiries or concerns, please contact the Department at 410-758-0835.
