Ages 3–5, 5–7, 8–13 · Recreation Park Skate Park
Recreation Park's skate park is brand new — it opened in October 2025, giving Arlington Heights its first skatepark since the old one at Legacy Park closed back in 2020. This Fall program is published in Arlington Heights Park District's online brochure.
We bring loaner skateboards — including foam practice boards for our youngest riders — so nobody needs to own gear before their first class. Groups are kept small and split by ability, not just age, so beginners and more experienced skaters both get real coaching time.
This is an official Arlington Heights program. Each session below registers directly through the district's own site.
Pricing below is shown as Resident / Non-Resident, set by Arlington Heights — residency is determined at checkout on their site, not by us. Registering through the buttons below takes you directly to that program on the district's registration site.
Right for beginning and intermediate skaters alike. Beginners learn how to start, stop, and turn; more experienced skaters build ramp riding and trick skills at their own pace.
| Day | Dates | Time | Resident | Non-Resident |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M | 9/14–10/5 | 4:15–5:15pm | $110 | $110 |

The 10/12–11/12 session runs one hour (5:15–6:15pm) instead of 90 minutes, since the sun sets earlier later in the season — pricing reflects the shorter class time.
The same gentle, confidence-first approach as our other Intro classes — balance, standing on the board, pushing, and simple first tricks, with hands-on help riding small ramps. Skateboards are provided, so there's nothing extra to buy before the first class.
