Oxford Skate Park
Map to Oxford Skate Park

The Oxford Skate Park is located across from the Lafayette County & Oxford Public Library at the old Dizzie Dean ball field on Bramlett Blvd . 

Our park is open seven days a week, 365 days a year!  The park hours are from sunrise until 11:00pm.  The park features a 7-9 ft. bowl that is approx. 4,000 sq. ft. and a steet course that is about 6,000 sq. ft.

The City of Oxford recommends the use of helmets and pads for all skaters.

Design of the new Oxford Skate Park was completed in September and construction began in fall of  2005.  Grindline, a design-build company from California that specializes in skate parks, was awarded the contract for the new Oxford Skate Park.  The total contract amount was $300,000.  Grindline works hard to make each park better than the previous park they built.

The skate park was enabled by a combination of support from private donations, grants, and the people of the City of Oxford.
