A Popup Skatepark Series in Downtown Raleigh

Next Session: June 27-29, 2025

Skate Moore Square

Join us in downtown Raleigh for our next popup skatepark at Skate Moore Square — a vibrant, all-ages skate experience happening once per quarter through 2026!

Presented by Downtown Raleigh Alliance, Raleigh Parks, and Friends of Moore Square, this quarterly activation transforms Moore Square into a dynamic destination for skateboarding, roller skating, scootering, and community.

Featuring ramps, rails, boxes and more for the skatepark, while supported by food trucks, beer vendors, and music, all bringing together community, creativity, and support for skating in Raleigh.

No matter if you’re a skater or spectator, come roll with us and help reimagine public space through movement and community connection.
