MALIBU CITY COUNCIL APPROVES FUNDING FOR NEW PERMANENT SKATE PARK, WITH CONSTRUCTION STARTING IN APRIL
The Malibu City Council approved a $4.1 million contract for the construction of the Malibu Permanent Skate Park, marking a major milestone in the City’s commitment to providing high-quality recreational facilities and fostering an active, healthy community.
Designed by the internationally renowned California Skateparks, the 12,500 square-foot facility project will be built by C.S. Legacy Construction, Inc. The skate park design was shaped by extensive community engagement through public meetings and surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021. The park will feature a variety of street and transition skate elements including stairs, rails, ledges, banks, a flow bowl, quarter pipes, spine, extensions, and waterfalls – catering to skaters of all skill levels.
Mayor Doug Stewart shared his enthusiasm for the project, stating, "This skate park is more than just a recreational facility — it will be a gathering place that will foster community, promote healthy lifestyles, and embrace Malibu’s deep-rooted skate culture. We look forward to watching generations of skaters enjoy this incredible new space."
Construction will begin in April 2025, with completion anticipated by fall 2025. While the new facility is under construction, the City’s Temporary Skate Park will remain open as much as possible, ensuring Malibu’s skating community has a dedicated space to enjoy.
Additionally, the Council also directed staff to explore potential naming rights for the new Skate Park in accordance with City Policy #52, “Naming Rights for Public Facilities.” City staff will present proposals to the City Council in coming months.
