Level of Activity
There is a lot of activity during the day at this park in any good weather, especially when kids are out of school. More often than not you will see people with skateboards over roller skates. Evenings after dinner and mornings before breakfast are great times to go if you don’t want a high level of activity while you’re skating.
What Kind of Skate Park is this?
A great skatepark for skate park beginners and experts looking to try out dropping in with or without a coping, with a smaller bowl and a large pool-shaped bowl available. There's also a great flat middle area that works for beginners as well.

A brand new skatepark as of August 2022, complete with a half bowl and a long track-style design that allows skaters to zip from one end of the park to the other.

27 Spruce St, Lewiston, ME 04240
Level of Activity
From 9:30am onward into the late evening, this skate park is always busy with crowds of kids, teens, and adults on skateboards, scooters, and bicycles. Lots of enthusiasm for anyone who’s park skating! Just be sure to look around before you take your turn in a space.
What Kind of Skate Park is this?
The Kennedy Park skate park is for people comfortable going down into bowls and skate areas that are four, six, and nine feet deep. The bowls aren’t often clean, so be careful of debris and trash. They are completely worth the skate however. There’s a great run all the way around the 4 foot area and down into a long bowl.
There’s also a flat-ish area at the top of the park to leave gear in a visible place, and to practice on a grind rail!
