Every Sunday, it’s free to enjoy the fun that unwinds at the Skate Park – a time when skaters from all over the Bay Area come to congregate, mingle, skate and watch the action. Around noon, the local “GodFather” of the skate park, David Mills (the founder and President of the California Outdoor Rollerskating Association and the Golden Gate Park Skate Patrol), usually makes an appearance with his booming system. While no skate rentals are available directly in the park, there are nearby options. However, having your own pair of skates is highly recommended so that you can easily enjoy the atmosphere without having to visit a rental shop.
Various events have been held at the 6th Avenue Skate Park, including the Red Bull Great Skate Freestyle Roller Dance Championships. Throughout the year, keep an eye out for public roller skate and BBQ parties held at 6th Avenue, especially around the Fourth of July holiday.
Location
You will find the 6th Avenue skating situated just inside the park between Fulton Street and John F. Kennedy Drive. On Sundays, no vehicles are allowed on JFK Drive, which means the park swells with an increased number of skaters.

Join MoAD every Second Saturday for THRIVE @ MoAD Community Day with free admission to all our exhibitions. Across the globe, museums are increasingly being recognized as having an important role to play in promoting personal and social well-being in partnership with the healthcare industry. Studies have shown that engagement with art and culture aid in brain function, processing trauma, and reducing the stigma of mental illness.
Be sure to join MoAD Teaching Artists for an interactive, family-friendly art activity on the Museum’s first floor from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Museum of the African Diaspora and Kaiser Permanente are committed to increasing access to the positive health outcomes of arts engagement and providing resources on overall well-being for our community.
This program is made possible by the generous support of Kaiser Permanente.
