This outdoor skatepark in Wauwatosa was built in memory of a young boy who passed away who was passionate about giving skaters “a place to play.” His family worked together with the City of Wauwatosa and Tosa Skateboarders United to build the park. It’s located in Hart Park, just south of State Street between 70th and 72nd Street. Skaters will find convenient parking and restrooms nearby. The skate park is open dawn to dusk.
