Metalworks Skatepark Project

Scheduled for construction in 2023 and 2024, Metalworks Skatepark will be the newest, rad, legit, fleek, savage, wicked, and sweet addition to Ferndale’s recreation facilities.  The project is made possible through grant funds provided by the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office and Whatcom County’s Economic Development Investment Program.  The project will build a 10,000 square foot skate park off Second Avenue near Phillips 66 Sports Complex, Pioneer Park, and Star Park.
