The idea of a skatepark in Milford first emerged over 20 years ago, and several volunteer groups over the years have stepped up to try and bring a skatepark to the community. Building on those past efforts and the lesson learned along the way, a group of local students and their parents approached the Village in 2016 about the potential of making this project a reality.
In 2017, Spohn Ranch was hired as the design/build contractor for this project. Subsequent ad hoc committee meetings and a public design charette resulted in the final design. This park is designed to accommodate not only skating, but other non-motorized, wheeled activities, including BMX. A successful crowdfunding effort through the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Public Spaces, Community Places program, coupled with in-kind donations, allowed the project to be constructed in the Summer of 2020.
In October 2020 the Milford Skatepark opened for use.
SKATEPARK HOURS: 9:00 A.M. – 9:00 P.M.
