Johnstown Area Skate Parks
Recreation opportunities abound in the Johnstown PA area. Hiking, biking, running and kayaking are some of the most popular activities our residents and guests can often be witnessed enjoying. For many of our younger citizens, the activity of choice is skateboarding and BMX riding. The greater Johnstown region happily boasts two skate parks—one in Johnstown’s West End; the other at Windber Recreation Park—that were created to meet the specific needs of these athletes.
The West End skate park is located at the Bheam School Playground on the corner of J Street and Fairfield Avenue and features a variety of equipment for riders, including:
- 4’ half pipe
- 4’ incline
- 4’ spine
- 4’ quarter pipe
- Small box

Not sure if it’s open in winter because it’s outdoors–there is no indoor park.
