We love a strong Main Street and Stillwater, Oklahoma certainly has that.

6. Route 66 Skatepark

Location: 2001 Sunset Dr, El Reno, OK 73036

Hours: Sunrise to Sunset

Best for: All-around

About 30 miles east of Oklahoma City along Route 66 is a skatepark often called “El Reno.” We love the way the street section of this park blends into the transition features, creating an endless variety of lines. Two bowls with a spine, a pyramid with a rail, and brick banks are unique features. This 10,000 square foot park is gnarly with hot summer days under the dusty sun. Be sure to bring hydration and protection from the sun in summer, like a long sleeve tee, cap, sunscreen, and water bottle! 

7. Schillings Park

Location: 601 SE  25th St., Oklahoma City, OK 73129

Cost: Free

Hours:  Sunrise to Sunset

Best for: All-levels size does matter when it comes to skateparks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that bigger is better! Schillings Park is a perfect example. This 2,500 square foot skatepark is a cleverly designed plaza, with multiple quarter pipes, ramps, hip banks, and a corner bank. This is a great park for stylish skaters looking to blend their grind and air transitions all in one line. This is a very beginner-friendly park. The only downside is that it can start to feel busy pretty quickly.
