Bro Bowl Skatepark

Bro Bowl was the first ever public skatepark built in Florida. It opened in 1979 and was free to use unlike other skateparks during that time which were profit driven private facilities. Bro Bowl is also the first skatepark to be listed on any national registry of historic sites. As you’ll notice upon visiting though, the original skatepark no longer exists here apart from some relics amongst the palm trees.

The new Bro Bowl is 17,000 square feet and was constructed by Team Pain. It pays homage to the old one with an open-style bowl that includes humps and bumps similar to the original.

The addition of a street course makes it a great all-round skatepark. There are a variety of ledges, rails, gaps, stairs, and bank ramps. There is also a decent amount of open flat ground perfect for beginners to practice tricks.
