Louisville Extreme Park

Louisville Extreme Park is a public recreation facility in Butchertown built specifically for skateboarding and BMX riding. It features several bowls of varying depths, ramps of different styles, street skating courses, and a wooden vert ramp designed for aerial tricks.

The park opened in 2002 and gained national attention through professional skateboarding events and demonstrations. A major reconstruction took place in 2015 to adapt the facility to changes in the surrounding area.

This facility serves as a meeting place for skateboarding, BMX, and inline skating enthusiasts from the region who gather to practice and share their passion. The different areas allow both newcomers and experienced riders to coexist and improve their skills together.

The facility has public restrooms and emergency phones positioned throughout for visitor convenience. Plan to visit during daylight hours, as the park closes at 11 PM.

The facility features a 24-foot full pipe and a 12-foot wooden vert ramp with a specialized extension, a combination rarely found in the region. These specific features attract experienced riders from considerable distances.
