Marceline’s Skate Park is a vibrant and meaningful community space dedicated to the memory of Timothy D. Frandson, a local skateboard enthusiast whose passion inspired the park’s creation.

Here are some highlights:

• Opened in May 2022, the park was developed through a collaboration between the City of Marceline and Parks Work, a nonprofit focused on enhancing recreational spaces in rural communities.
• The park features a custom-designed layout, including a circle pump track, rails, ramps, quarter pipes, and ledges, offering something for skaters of all skill levels.
• A metal sign crafted by C&B Welding and Fabrication features a skateboarder in mid-air with the quote: “Only the wild ones give you something and never want it back,” reflecting the free-spirited nature of skateboarding.
• The park is designed with accessibility in mind, including sidewalks connecting the parking lot to shelter and restroom facilities, and benches for spectators.
• Safety is emphasized with posted rules encouraging the use of helmets and pads, and promoting respectful behavior.
