SKATEPARK at McLeod Park
The City of Florence, with much assistance from the In-Line/Skateboard Association, has constructed a 17,000 square foot skate park for skateboarders and in-line skaters. The skate park, which is located at McLeod Park, has a flat concrete pad with various skate apparatuses strategically placed around the pad. Some of the apparatuses in the park are one large half-pipe, one smaller half-pipe, three quarter pipes, and one large fun box with rails. The entire skate park is fenced and supervised during operating hours. There is an admission fee for each session.

Participants are required to wear protective equipment which include helmet, knee and elbow pads. In-line skaters are also required to wear wrist guards. Participants or their (parent/guardian) must complete a wavier upon their initial visit – each time the participant is required to sign-in at the office. Admission is $2.00 per session.

Current hours of operation can be obtained by calling the City of Florence Parks and Leisure Services Department at 665-3253 or calling the Skate Park at 665-3202.

The skate park was constructed to meet a growing demand for a quality recreation facility for skateboarders and in-line skaters. This park will not only enhance the quality of recreation for the skaters in the Florence community but will also provide opportunities for persons from other areas of the state and region.
