Kenwood DIY

The DIY skatepark at Kenwood Park (at the corner of 49th St and Dorchester Ave), dubbed Roderick Sawyer Skatepark, has a vibrant, inclusive, community. At any given sunny day, you can find at least one of our coaches there skating. Neighborhood Skates supports the Kenwood DIY by purchasing skate obstacles for public use.

If there’s a rail, kicker, ramp, or anything else you want to see at Kenwood, send us a message and we’ll try to make it happen!
