The Lawton Skatepark, located near the corner of Clinton Street and 4th Street in downtown Fort Wayne, is open for the season. Hours are 6 a.m. – 11 p.m. The lights at the park will turn off at 10:45 p.m. to alert skaters that the park will be closing soon.
This 20,000 square foot facility has nine tons of reinforced steel and 500 cubic yards of concrete, as well as bowls, ramps and “fun boxes” that imitate the city scape. The most advanced bowl has a 9' drop off.
Only in-line skates and skateboards are allowed in the park. This is an extreme sport so protective gear is required when using the Skatepark: helmets, knee pads, wrist guards and elbow pads. This facility is not supervised and patrons must skate at their own risk.
