Webster Groves advances skate‑park master plan after wide community input

Mar 4, 2026

Council heard a parks presentation on Memorial Park skate‑park options, including a preferred plaza/street‑style design favored by about 74% of survey respondents; staff recommended retaining a skate‑park designer and indicated skate‑park elements estimate near $300,000 with additional concrete/site work and possible MSD stormwater requirements.

The full story

Parks staff presented results from multiple community meetings and two city surveys for the Memorial Park skate‑park master plan. The presentation showed broad agreement on a mixed street/transition design aimed at younger and intermediate skaters rather than large pro‑style ramps. Staff said the community preferred swapping the roller rink and skate park locations to provide more space for skate features; presenter noted about "74%" support for that option.
