The City of Eugene has partnered with the Downtown Rotary and local non-profit Skaters for Eugene Skateparks to fund and build City Center Skatepark in the heart of downtown. This 18,000 square foot facility will be located in the currently underutilized area within Washington/Jefferson Park covered by the I-105 Bridge. It is a key component of a broader effort to revitalize the previously troubled park and invigorate the Whiteaker neighborhood.

It will be the largest covered and lit skatepark in the region, allowing the rare opportunity to engage our youth in year-round, outdoor, healthy, physical activity. It will also be uniquely Eugene, designed with the input of skaters by world-renowned and highly respected Dreamland Skateparks through a series of five public design workshops. When complete, it will draw skaters and skate enthusiasts from around the nation, particularly the west coast region, bringing significant economic benefits to our community. City Center Skatepark will be one more addition to a growing list of world-class athletic facilities in Eugene.
