Skatepark Of Tampa

My nephew goes here quite often, he tells me it’s a pretty nice place to skate with his friends.

An absolute Institution. Been skating here for almost 20 years. Park always changes and this is its finest incarnation with concrete outside and an additional warehouse with a bowl and a small course. I remember when it was one warehouse with a vert ramp INSIDE!
Always friendly folks and whole place is always dusty and I slide off the wood! Haha! I’m old and I suck! It’s great to skate where all the old 411s were filmed, where the contests are skated and where your favorite pro had to prove himself in 93…
If wood is your thing it’s one of the best. For ten bucks a pop though, there’s lots of free concrete parks not too far away for an old man to do slappies and no compys.

Love it!! Has a great vibe. My boys skate one is a beginner the other more of intermediate. Staff are friendly and helpful. They are presently adding on to the outside. Love how it’s split into 3 areas. We will be returning when in the Tampa area.

I like this place, but it was personally too far for me. The guys at the shop were very kind. The park, which is two warehouses was a bit intimidating at first. There’s a lot of «punk» culture in there. Every one was very polite and kept to themselves though. This is not a good park for beginner skaters. I mean, depends on the personality of the child. It is very much a «free for all» and no rules seem to be enforced. I was impressed that everyone seemed to follow a code of sorts. My children managed to make some friends at the end of it. Just remember to get past the initial intimidation of the pro’s who’s grinding and flying makes sounds that resonate in the warehouse. I would like to go again in the future once my kids can do some more ramps.

Best inside course in Tampa with two of the best contests on the east coast. I’m a regular because of it for 7 years

Needed to give them 10 stars ! Awesome customer service. I have dealt with many skate shops and mostly they are just rude and too cool. These guys are great, honest and funny ! Come here or go online for all your skater needs!

I think it is pretty awesome that the SPoT exists.
There’s not a whole lot for teens and tweens to do in Florida without having to have Mom and Dad drive them somewhere. So, the skate park at least provides them with a place where they can hang out all day with a few bucks in their pockets and engage in some physical and social activity for a few hours.
The skate park is reserved for the littler ones on Sunday mornings and gives a great opportunity for beginner skaters to be able to learn safely without getting trampled by the older teens. However, in my experience and just form observing it seems that the kids are pretty respectful of the younger ones and even go out of their way to help them learn.
There is an indoor and outdoor area. The indoor area is nicely air conditioned and the outdoor area is relatively clean and free of things that can hurt the kids. The staff there is really nice too. They have a nice snack bar too where the kids can buy skate fare like hot dogs, fries, burgers, sodas, etc. It’s relatively cheap so $ 10 can last them for a good few hours.
I was there to see my son play at Transitions, an attached club (formerly Epic Problem) with his band (Act Of Mercy — Like them on Facebook — shameless Mommy plug). But while waiting around, I checked out the skate park and it was actually pretty cool. A lot of the kids grabbed their skateboards post concert and went next door to skate afterward and it was really awesome to watch these talented kids do their thing.
If you need a place to let the kids blow off some steam, the SPoT is definitely a great place to take them.

I am not a skater, but I take my kids here. Both of them are under 12 and are beginning skateboarders. Sunday mornings are reserved for kids and there are lots of kids of varying ability levels. The staff is friendly and helpful. The skateshop has great clothing and hardware. And the general vibe is just laid back and fun.
In general people are very respectful of the younger ones who don’t have the same skills as the veterans. The facility has some incredible surfaces to skate. It is a tampa institution and definitely worth a visit if you are a skateboarder of any ability level.

Awesome place! Was here for Tampa Am 2011 and highly enjoyed myself! I was very thankful for the snack bar area, because I had a hangover from hell from partying at The Bricks the night before. The room was air conditioned and relatively quiet. Even though the snack bar dudes never cooked my stuffed jalenpenos :(it’s all good though. Can’t wait to be back! I promise I wont get super wasted and miss the main event ever again!

My order got lost in the black friday mayhem (it was a crazy deal too, oh well) but SPoT was on top of it ridiculously fast. Not only did they personally email me rather than some form letter, they refunded my purchase the same day they spotted the problem.
But the best part of my online experience with SPoT came today when I got a package in the mail from them, even though my order cancelled they sent me some free stuff with an Altamont tee, DVS koozie, stickers and ubiquitous issue of The Skateboard Mag.
I’ve checked the website out from time to time and have always been impressed with how low they go on clearance items and just their overall selection. The incredible customer service really sealed it for me, I’ll definitely order from them again.
And I figure if I keep ordering stuff they can’t find in the warehouse I’ll eventually get them to send me a free pair of TK Societies or something hahaha.
Thanks Rob!
