Vision Fairbanks Downtown Plan - Fairbanks North Star Borough

Skate Park Feasibility Study
A public skate park was supported by strong
community sentiment and a well-organized group
of advocates. A recommended site would be located
behind the new fire station between 11th Avenue and
12th Avenue as indicated on the right.
A Statement of Values
Building of the skate park will reflect the value and
commitment the citizens of Fairbanks have made
to the community’s youth. A coordinated effort
should be initiated by the DTA, City, and Borough,
to identify the feasibility of locating the skate park
at this location and should include the input of the
skateboard community and local citizens. This site
represents “a first stake in the ground” for securing
this area as the civic, arts and cultural anchor at the
south end of Cushman Street.
