June 21st saw Go Skateboarding Day in the Washington DC, when more than 600 kids descended on Freedom Plaza to shred away the day.

Yeah, it’s that time of the year again. Everyone’s done with school. We have tons of hours to spend honing our skills and enjoying the freedom.  Days are longer, curfews are later, the sun is hot.

Hellertown PA is talking about building a skatepark in the SW corner of Dimmick Park. Fergus Falls MN wants to move theirs from the parking lot of the middle school and into Roosevelt Park, but their holding off. Unlikely to happen this summer.

One of the benefits of a skate park versus just flying down the steps in front of the local shopping mall means sanctioned skating. You’re free to practice bold moves without hitting pedestrians or having the cops breathing down your neck all the time. Not every town has one, but a lot of town councils and municipal boards across the country have realized that giving skaters a place to shred is just as important as installing tennis courts or swimming pools.

So where do you go in your area? Do you even know?

We found this awesome comprehensive list of skateparks across the country - even Alaska and Hawaii! There are thousands - tens of thousands - all across America! So the next time you’re all sitting around a parking lot somewhere, boards in hand, wondering where to go, remember this list!

You never know… The All-Day Girls may show up at one of them near you!
