Topeka is
the home of two skate parks. Users are
encouraged to use appropriate equipment
when at the skate parks.
Mousetrap.
Opened in October 2000, Topeka's first
skate park provides area skateboarders,
in-line skaters and bicyclers a state-of-the-art
facility rivaling any skate park in the
Midwest. It is an outdoor facility located
in Oakland-Billard Park next to the Oakland
Community Center, the
Oakland
Pool, and the Shunga Trail.
Eight
separate features are available for youth
and adults of all skill levels in this
10,000 square foot facility. No supervision
is provided. Users are encouraged to use
appropriate equipment. For more information,
