(City of Pocatello Press Release, September 21, 2026)
The City of Pocatello Parks & Recreation Department will temporarily close Optimist Skatepark, located at 972 N. 7th Avenue, beginning Wednesday, September 23, for scheduled maintenance.
Artisan Skateparks, the original contractor for the skate park, will return to complete final work under the warranty portion of its contract with the City. The work will address minor chips and cracks, along with repairs related to normal outdoor weather exposure and wear and tear.
The maintenance is expected to take five to seven days. The skate park will remain closed during this time and will reopen once all work is finished and the area is safe for public use.
The Parks & Recreation Department asks residents to avoid the skate park during the closure to help ensure the work can be completed safely and efficiently.
