Gillette Skatepark is a modern, well-designed public concrete skatepark in Gillette, Wyoming, part of the City Park complex on the west side of this energetic northeastern Wyoming town. Rebuilt in 2014 by the respected skatepark builder Spohn Ranch, it's a standout stop on the northern-plains skate circuit, mixing solid terrain with some genuinely creative touches.

The park offers a fun variety of features for all styles, including quarterpipes, banks, rails, and ledges, along with a three-quarter open bowl for those who like to carve and catch air. What sets it apart are the creative extras: colorful concrete, skateable boulders, an eye-catching accessible ramp feature, and a custom steel sculpture that recreates the county's mountain-range logo. The result is a park that's as photogenic as it is fun to skate, with something to challenge and entertain skaters of every level.

As a free public facility, it's a lively community gathering spot. As always, gear up with a helmet and pads (pads are the norm here, and always smart), be courteous and take turns with everyone sharing the park, bring water, and check for any posted hours or rules. Well-built and full of character, Gillette Skatepark is a great place to session in the heart of Wyoming's coal country.
