Looking for a Skate Park on the Gulf Coast?

Amid the baseball fields, softball fields, and basketball courts that make up Johnnie Sims Park in Gulf Shores sits another facility that many visitors might find interesting: a 6500-square-foot skate park.

Maybe you’re vacationing in the area, or maybe a family member or friend is competing at one of the park’s fields, and you’re looking for a place to exhibit your skating skills. Either way, with ten concrete skate ramps designed for skaters ranging in ability from beginner to advanced, the skate park is an ideal place for skaters of all levels. (And perhaps it’s time to bring some skating events to the Gulf Coast!)

Now that you’ve got the location, you need the look—head on over to the Tanger Outlets, Bronze sponsor of the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission, in Foley, where you’ll find great deals on your favorite fashions. And speaking of sponsors, it’s time to recognize to other Bronze sponsors: Tacky Jacks and the Shrimp Basket, two excellent places to eat when the skating fun is over. (The Shrimp Basket is also a good location for starting a race—like the First Annual Shrimp Basket Giving Run coming up on June 8^th!)

Thanks for the support!
