The Pop-Up Scotty Lapp Memorial Skatepark is open in Tahoe City. Located behind the old Blue Agave building, the 4,000 square-foot temporary skatepark is open to the public every Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to sunset until the snow flies.
Created in memory of Tahoe City resident Scotty Lapp who died in February, the skatepark was designed with support from local volunteers, contractors and businesses to be a place for individuals and groups. Before he died, Lapp’s mission was to create a purpose-built skatepark in Tahoe City that would provide a legal, accessible place in which to skate and participate in other action sports including BMX, wheelchair motocross, roller and inline skating, and scootering.
The pop-up skatepark has a variety of features including a mini-pipe; hip, flatbank and two-quarter pipes; three-stair and five-stair with a hubby; tabletop; flat down bar; step-up gap; grind ledge and China-gap ramps.
The Scott Lapp Memorial Foundation’s goal is to find a location that can accommodate a 20,000-square-foot park that is inclusive, accessible, community-minded, attractive and safe for all. | scottylappmemorialskatepark.org
