Jul5 Expert Q&A - Planning
Do you have a formula or standard for how many parking stalls should be planned for a skatepark?
It’s really hard to come up with a basic formula. So much is dependent on space available, other adjacent parking, bus routes, etc. For the large size skatepark ARTIFEX is building in Albuquerque, NM we are planning for around 25 spaces. Los Altos, another large size skatepark in Albuquerque, has around 25 spaces. Smaller size parks (2,000 sf – 8,000 sf) probably need 6-10 spaces, medium parks (8,000 sf – 20,000 sf) probably need 10-20 spaces, large parks (20,000 sf-40,000 sf) probably need 20-40 spaces. Of course, if space and budget allow, it is always beneficial to have more parking spaces. This is a broad estimate, but hopefully it will get you started in the right direction.
