Idaho may not seem like a top skateboarding destination so you might be surprised to learn that the Gem State boasts some incredible skateparks built by reputable companies such as Dreamland and Grindline Skateparks.

Southern Idaho in particular seems to know what the kids want and what us big kids want too which is skateparks, skateparks, skateparks! We don’t want just any old skateparks though, we want new and innovative designs for all types of skateboarders to enjoy. And I believe Idaho has done a great job in doing just that.

The driving itinerary provided below will take you to some of the best skateparks in Southern Idaho so buckle up!

There is a decent burger shop located adjacent to the skatepark should you need to refuel. Another good thing to note about this facility is that there is free Wifi and ample parking.

Jerome Skatepark

Buhl Skatepark
Glenns Ferry Skatepark

Overnight in Boise

Buhl Skatepark

Stop three on the road trip is Buhl, a city located on the old Oregon Trail in the western half of Twin Falls County. Buhl skatepark is another Dreamland Skateparks design who seem to have a monopoly on Idaho and I don’t think any of the local skateboarders are complaining. This skatepark features transition for days that will make your legs burn. There are some features incorporated into it as well which include a stair set and some rails.

Glenns Ferry Skatepark

The next skatepark on our Southern Idaho road trip is in Glenns Ferry, a small town off I-84 sitting adjacent to the Snake River. Glenns Ferry skatepark is yet again molded by the hands of Dreamland Skateparks. This skatepark is well designed and has a great use of space. The concrete is smooth and the features plentiful. It’s a really fun skatepark for little kids and big kids too!

Rhodes Skatepark

Day three of the road trip begins in Boise which is the capitol of Idaho. Over the last few years this city has started to grow into a boom town. The secret is out… Boise is cool!

Rhodes skatepark is a 32,750 square foot skatepark between 15th and 16th streets under Interstate I-84 in Boise. The skatepark was re-built by Grindline in 2016 and consists of a large variety of features. This skatepark is lit up so you can session at night.

Boise Whitewater Park

If you’re feeling sweaty, head to Boise Whitewater Park to cool off and surf the river wave. The best rental deal on a board is at Corridor at a rate of $20 for two hours. They also rent wetsuits. Go be surfer boys for a few hours!
