Welcome to
Roberts Skate Park
730 N. 78th Street
(One block north of Cass)  

     Come visit the first City of Omaha Skate Park.  This skate park was opened October 25th, 1999 at Robert Park with the novice and pro skater in mind.  Special thanks to the local skateboarders and In-line skaters who were actively involved with the design of this facility.  Their ideas and suggestions were incorporated in the design and construction of this great skate park.  Roberts Skate Park is a 14,000 square foot facility constructed of concrete.  The park includes various skill levels.  Urban elements include ramps, stairs, quarter pipes, a grinding block, and fun box.  The flat area transitions into a Snake Run that empties into a four-foot and a seven foot bowl.  Two silhouettes of skate boarders, fashioned from galvanized steel, watch over the park entrance.  The silhouettes are dedicated in honor of the late Mathew Kress and Tommy Craft who campaigned for a place where skateboarders would be welcome.  
The plaque at the silhouettes reads:

RESPECT ONE ANOTHER
In Memory of Mathew Kress and Tommy Craft
