Tallahassee, Florida, has just opened a brand new $2.8 million world-class skatepark and it features Florida’s longest snake-run! If you’re a skateboarder and live in or near Tallahassee you will want to visit this Skateable Art Park.
FAMU Way Skateable Art Park
Team Pain designed and built the new facility in Tallahassee which incorporates old-school style and new-school elements.
There is a 225 foot long snake-run (now the longest snake-run in Florida) with a massive rattlesnake head that looks like it’s bursting through from beneath the concrete, and it’s painted beautifully in orange, green, and black. The snake-run’s design is reminiscent of what you would see in a skatepark built in the 80s and 90s which is really awesome.
The large flow-bowl’s design is similar to what is used in the Olympics ‘park discipline’ and consists of a deep end with pool coping, shallow end with steel coping, a roll-in, and lots of hips to catch some air.
The street course is absolutely perfect and has a variety of street obstacles such as down ledges, down rail, stair set, flat bars, extra-fat flat bar, A-frame with a rail and ledge, manual pad, bump-to-manual pad, bench, bank ramps, quarter pipes, fun box with rainbow rail, and a jersey barrier.
This skatepark has been designed to suit all abilities and is the perfect spot to master your skateboarding skills. If you’re are in Tallahassee I highly recommend visiting this brand new world-class facility.
