Reed Park Skate/Wheel Park Community Engagement
The City of Fruita is looking for community feedback on the conceptual design of a skate/wheel park proposed for Reed Park. In 2020, the City of Fruita completed the PHROST Master Plan to understand community needs when it comes to parks and recreation services. Based on the Master Plan, Reed Park was identified as a prime location for a skate/wheel park in Fruita.
About the Project
Reed Park is located in the heart of Fruita and was established in 1984. Aside from the programmed activities of Little Salt Wash, Reed Park is the heaviest-used park in Fruita. Reed Park has not undergone any significant improvements since being established. The location of Reed Park and the aged condition of many of the existing amenities create an opportunity for a valuable upgrade to the park's portfolio.
Currently, the City of Fruita is working with Design Workshop on a conceptual design of Reed Park including space for a future skate/wheel park. The input received from the community will help create a skate/wheel park that users will love and enjoy using for years to come.
Reed Park is an ideal location for a locally serving in-ground skate park/wheel park. A prime location for the skate park/wheel park is at the southwest corner of the park, in proximity to the playground and picnic pavilion. The current skate park, Raptor Skate Park, is approximately 4,400 sq/ft and has a limited number of features for intermediate to expert skaters.
Community Engagement
In November 2022 and Janaury 2023, the City of Fruita hosted two community meetings to gather input on the design elements of a skate/wheel park at Reed Park. After gathering feedback, the City of Fruita working with Design Workshop is creating a conceptual design for a future skate/wheel park at Reed Park that incorporates the input received.

What's Next?
There have been two community meetings on the design of the skate/wheel park. Design Workshop will utilize the feedback received to guide the design process of the skate/wheel park. Please check this webpage for updates on the progress of the project.
If you have any questions about the project, please email communications@fruita.org.
Other Renovations
Based on the community input received during the PHROST Master Plan process, in 2023, the City of Fruita has plans to renovate Reed Park with the following proposed renovations: replacing the existing restroom and shelter structure, replacing the playground, electrical upgrades for special events, and installation of a MiniPitch that will include basketball, soccer, and pickleball lines. These improvements will bring the facility up to current standards and provide a high-quality experience in the southeast downtown area while maintaining the flexibility of the park for downtown events.
