Let the kids cut loose at Springfield Skatepark in Springfield, Missouri, located just 30 minutes north of Branson.
Parents can feel safe dropping their kids off at this indoor/outdoor facility, as there is no alcohol served here, smoking is not allowed, and everyone is here to just have a good time. Skaters are encouraged to participate in skate tournaments, giveaways, even the occasional video game tournament. Live music is often party of the Skatepark experience, and is played right there on the floor.
Skaters will love the on-site pro-shop for all their new accessories and parts, as well as the refreshment stand. The pro-shop offers decks, wheels, grip tape, trucks, t-shirts, CD's, videos, finger boards, stickers, helmets, pads, and much more. Their prices are reasonable, and all the proceeds from the pro-shop go right back into the Springfield Skatepark. Outside, there are empty pools to skate and rails to grind. Inside, there are ramps, pipes, rails, and more. Rollerbladers and bike rider are welcome, as well. However, there are different days for different types of riders, and it's always a good idea to call ahead and check the hours.
