ROSEDALE, MD—A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at Hazelwood Skate Park later this week.

The event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, October 4, 2024.

This will be Baltimore County’s first new bowl-style public skate park in 50 years.

Located on 10.5 acres of County-owned space, the $4.3 million Hazelwood Skate Park project is eastern Baltimore County’s counterpart to the revered Sandy Hills Skate Park in Lansdowne, which first opened in 1978.

Baltimore County also features two modular skate parks – Hannah More Skate Park in Reisterstown and Cockeysville Skate Park in Cockeysville. There is no fee for the use of any of these public facilities.

The park is designed for skateboarders – and those who bike, roller skate, and ride scooters – of all skill levels, from novices to professionals. Ensuring the project reflected the vision of local advocates of a skateboarding hub with national appeal, the Department of Recreation and Parks worked with the Baltimore County Skateboard Council to design a modern skate facility with a concrete bowl as its central feature. In addition to the skatepark, the project includes the construction of a park access road and parking lot, as well as various support amenities.

Hazelwood Skate Park is located at 4924 Hazelwood Avenue (21206).
