Penn Hills Skatepark

Pennhills Skatepark is located on Duff Road & Ung Dr Penn Hills, PA 15235. I used to skate here almost everyday, but i haven't been here for a while because its basically falling apart. One kicker is really dented, and the other kicker just isn't even together it's just broken apart. But this place is really fun. There's a half pipe with a spine into another half pipe, a six stair set, lots of manny pads, a round rail, a square rail, a kink rail, a c-rail, benches, and a hubba. I'd check it out.





Pipes Skatepark

Pipes Skatepark is located 5529 Old William Penn Hwy in Export, Pa. Inside there's a skate shop. The park inside is made half out of masonite wood and half out out of bowling alley wood, which is VERY slippery. So that's pretty hard to skate. There's a tiny little bowl and a crappy foam pit. If you go outside there's a industrial area. (Ghetto Themed) There's also a mini ramp. The mini ramp is awesome, i could skate it all day. So basically the only good part of pipes is the skate shop and the mini ramp.






Boyce Skatepark

Boyce Skatepark is at the bottom of the parking lot of the Boyce Park Wave Pool. There's a 3 set, a six set, a euro, 3 different bowls, a handrail, and lots of ledges. Some days you might survive there, other days the cops will kick out people without a helmet. So bring one just in case.

Bum Park

Bum Park is located on Blvd of the Allies & Commonwealth Place, in front of Point State Park is a parking lot, go up the stairs in the parking lot to go into bum park. There used to be rails and ramps up there, but the city cleaned it up and took out all of that. Now there's just banks.

Sorry, I couldn't find any pictures here. I might take some pictures myself the next time I skate here.

Trinity Christian School

Trinity Christian School is located on 299 Ridge Avenue. There's two 8 stair sets with handrails, lots of ledges, a 3 set, and a 7 set in the back.

Heinz Field

This spot is right in front of Heinz Park next to the river. You can jump over the poles that tie down the boat, but that's about it. Your board can fall into the river so BE CAREFULL! You won't get kicked out as long as you don't skate to close to the stadium.






Milliones Middle School

Milliones Middle School is located on 3117 Centre Avenue. There's a smooth concrete bank and an oversized 3 set. The school is closed so you won't get kicked out.

Planter Park

Planter Park is located on 419 Friday Road. This spot has a lot of little planter gaps, a 5 stair set, some ledges and drops, and a perfect manual pad. Go after 6 pm on the weekdays, and anytime on the weekends.

Sorry I can't find any pictures here, I might take some pictures myself the next time I go.

Marble Park

Marble Park is located on 6th avenue & Smithfield Street. There's lot of marble ledges of different sizes, but the ground is kinda rough. When the fountain's empty, it's awesome to skate in. You'll never get kicked out.

Pace School

Southpark Skatepark

Southpark Skatepark is located the BMX track off Corrigan Avenue. This is a great park! It has a decent street section, lots of  bowl, and a 30-foot vert ramp. The only bad thing is it has no stair sets.



McKinley Park


McKinley Park is located on Bausman st. in the park. Most of the ramps are really crappy, but there is good things there too. One thing that is good about it the half-pipe, on a hot day you might wanna have your shirt on if you don't wanna burn your back when you fall on it. The rails are also really good there.

Polish Hill Bowl

Polish Hill Bowl is located on 30th st. & Brerton st. by the fields. It has a 5' concrete bowl and a small street section of poor quality. I would not recommend going there, its absolute crap.
