About 3 dozen Maine skateparks are spread across the state. When compared to bigger states, this number is on the low side.
The local skateboarding community knows this and has paved the way for newer and better skateparks in Maine throughout the years.
One thing you can’t underestimate is Maine’s skate scene: it’s definitely alive and well.
Despite the long snowy winters, skateboarders still thrive when the sun is out. And if it isn’t, they either brave the cold or go for the next best thing: indoor skate parks.

3. Augusta Skatepark
- Location: 21-1 Quimby St. Augusta, ME
- Fees: FREE
- Hours: Open daily from sunrise to sunset
Designed by Breaking Ground Skateparks, the Augusta Skatepark is a local favorite not only for its size (it’s 15,000 square feet of concrete outdoor skateboard space) but also for the number of obstacles incorporated into the park.
Augusta Skatepark features a 5-foot bowl with an extension, over 20 feet of ledges, (hubba ledges, out ledges, flat ledges, and more), manual pads, five stairs with hubba, quarter pipes, banks, rails, and more.
In 2021, locals raised over $144,000 for the construction of its 2,700-square-foot expansion. When done, the park will have additional lower obstacles for beginner skateboarders, and open spaces for a playground, basketball courts, and a pool.
4. Lewiston Skatepark (aka Kennedy Park Skatepark)
- Location: 27 Spruce St, Lewiston, ME 04240

Development of the Skateboard park within Kennedy Park began in 2008 when the Board and Park & Recreation Committee approved the construction of an 8,000-square-foot skatepark.
Lewiston Skatepark (also known as Kennedy Park Skatepark) was designed by Dreamland Parks. This is the same skatepark builder endorsed by Tony Hawk and other notable skateboarders.
The park features a variety of terrain, including a large flow bowl with a spine, a ditch-style bowl, and a bowl with pool coping. Lewiston Skatepark was also designed with a street section with various ramps, ledges, hubbas, and stairs to master all kinds of tricks for all levels.

OOB skatepark featured a transition area and a bowl with a waterfall and pool coping. There are also quarterpipes, a roll-in, and a banked flow bowl with extensions.
Like many Maine skateparks, OOB skatepark isn’t done yet and an expansion could add street elements in the future.
6. Bar Harbor Skatepark
- Location: Bar Harbor, ME 04609
- Fees: Free
- Hours: 7am to 7 pm
Bar Harbor Skatepark is a 4,000-square-foot park built by Pillar Design Studios for the Bar Harbor community.
While the park isn’t as big as other Maine skateparks, Bar Harbor’s own park does offer a little bit of everything, including a manual pad, ledges, flat bars, hips, quarter pipes, camel humps and a bank with a landscape rock, among others.
It’s in the middle of nowhere though, so many locals and visitors take time to stop over just for the park. You won’t find anything else here.
Because of its size, it can be crowded and busy. But Bar Harbor Skate Park is clean, smooth and had enough obstacles for shredding fun.
7. Portland Skate Park (aka Dougherty Skatepark)
- Location: 91 Douglass St, Portland, ME 04102
- Fees: Free
- Hours: 6 am to 7 pm
The Portland Skate Park was opened in 2010 at Dougherty Field on St. James Street, which is why many people still call this spot as the Dougherty skatepark to this day.
The concrete park, which was built by Canadian Ramp Company, features a flow bowl and mini bowl, a skateable bench, hubba ledges, flat ledges, out ledge, quarter pipes, bank ramps, euro gap, flat bar, handrails, and an A-frame pyramid.
Unlike other Maine skateparks that only cater to skateboarders and inline skaters, Portland Skate Park also welcomes mountain bikers, too.
