About Pittsfield Skate Plaza
Pittsfield Skate Park is an expansive, plaza-style skating area managed by the City of Pittsfield, perfect for rollerblading, skateboarding, or BMX biking in the Berkshires. The park has many unique features, including a half-pipe, several rails, and a mini pool. With these features, both beginners and experts will have opportunities to improve their skills.
Overall, the park is family-friendly and available to Western Massachusetts riders of all ages. The layout is appropriately challenging for experienced riders hoping to connect multiple obstacles. Then, with numerous smaller ramps and flat areas, beginners can gradually increase their confidence. Visitors will also find that the concrete feels fresh and smooth due to a recent remodel.
Benches rest alongside the skate park, providing space to relax. Since there is no designated parking lot for the Pittsfield Skate Plaza, visitors should park elsewhere in downtown Pittsfield where appropriate.

Accessibility Assessment
There are no accessible features at this location.
There is no designated parking area for Pittsfield Skate Plaza, so visitors will have to street park nearby. There is sidewalk access to the skate park, and the entrance to the skate park is 8 feet wide; however, there are the bottoms of two previous bollards sticking out of the ground. Once in the park, visitors will notice there is a 5-inch lip from the pavement up onto the concrete park area. The concrete surface of the park can be slippery at points, and the park contains slopes above 90% as well as stairs and drops. On the pavement around the park, there are 15-inch high benches that double as skate obstacles.
