Frequently Asked Questions

The City is moving forward with construction of the new Permanent Skate Park at Malibu Bluffs Park, a project shaped by years of community input from local skaters, youth, and families. This modern facility will have transitional and street style skate elements, which will be in an inclusive space for skateboarding and serve the community for many years.

In July 2020, the City opened a Temporary Skate Park to provide a safe outlet for skaters while the permanent facility was being planned and permitted. Originally intended as a two-year solution, it remained open for an additional three years to meet community needs while development timelines evolved.

The City followed surplus property policy and received City Council authorization to make the equipment available to the public. 13 bids were received, with 6 bids for skate structures. Only skatelite (the top surface material) was sold because no bidders could remove the full wooden structures within the required timeframe for the City to stay on time and on budget for the Permanent Skate Park.

Yes. Bidders removed only the Skatelite surfaces they purchased. The remaining wooden structures were demolished by the City’s construction contractor.

The Skate Park construction contractor was responsible for removing the Temporary Skate Park, which was included in their project cost and agreement. The revenue collected: $1,575 (credited to General Recreation–Skate Park account).
