Orchard Skatepark

The City of Wichita opened its second “mini” Skatepark at Orchard Park, 4808 W. 9th Street, in December 2005. The 40’ x 66’ park, designed by SK8Park International, is the result of a collaborative effort between the City, Department of Park and Recreation, Police Department, the Orchard Park Neighborhood Association and numerous corporate and private donors, including:

  • Wichita Area Builders Association
  • Cox Communications
  • Cornejo and Sons, Inc.
  • Voegeli Concrete Construction
  • Signature Exploratory Theatre and Arts
  • Sunflower Neighborhood & Business Association
  • Riverside Citizens Association
  • Signs & Design, Inc.
  • The Wichita Eagle
  • Wichita Independent Neighborhoods, Inc.
  • GreenWay Alliance
  • Grace Wu Kung-Fu School
  • The Pusher
  • Quik Trip Corporation
  • The Wal-Mart Foundation
  • Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5
  • Wes Galyon
  • Bill Warren
  • Dan Monnat
  • neighborhood kids who volunteered and sold wristbands, T-shirts and held car washes to help fund the project.

City Park and Recreation Department employees installed the equipment at the park which includes an 18”- 3 sided corner pyramid; a 2’ x 2’ x 6’ ollie box; a 12” x 24” arch rail slide; a 2’ x 8’ quarter pipe and a 2’ x 8’ spine ramp.
