This summer, we’re bringing skating back to Dodge Park.

Last fall during SkateColumbus community meetings, one of the biggest things skaters asked for was more activation and care for the outdoor hockey rink at Dodge Park. With skyline views and the recently renovated skatepark next door, this space has so much potential, but it’s been underused for far too long.

We’re excited to share that we secured our first permit with Columbus Parks & Rec for a new summer series focused on community, movement, music, and showing what’s possible when skaters come together.

Join us for three free outdoor skate nights featuring soulful house music from DJ Smoov & DJ ANK, good energy, and space to roll together under the sunset.

📍 Dodge Park Outdoor Hockey Rink
667 Sullivant Ave, Columbus, OH 43215

🗓 Fourth Fridays This Summer
June 26 • July 24 • August 28
⏰ 7 PM – 10 PM

If you’ve ever said Columbus needs more spaces for skaters, this is one of those moments where showing up matters. Let’s show the city this space is loved, needed, and worth investing in. ✨

Due to tomorrow morning’s rainy forecast, this week’s Saturday Morning Street Skate is cancelled ☔️

Since the beginning of April, we’ve met every Saturday morning to roll through Columbus in community. What started as a small weekly meetup has continued to grow into something really special, skaters, cyclists, skateboarders, beginners, longtime skaters, friends, and new faces all moving through the city together.

We’ll continue meeting every Saturday morning through the end of September, so if you haven’t made it out yet, there’s still plenty of time and opportunities to join us this season.

Thank you to everyone who has rolled with us so far and helped create such a welcoming, positive community each week.

See y’all next Saturday 🌤️
9:30 AM meet
10:00 AM rollout

All wheels welcome!

This will be our first SkateColumbus gathering of the year, and all are welcome to join us!

Our monthly meetings are open to the public, no prior experience with advocacy or organizing is required. These gatherings are a space to share updates on our work, talk about skating and small-wheeled mobility in Columbus, and explore how we can collectively advocate for safer streets and more inclusive public spaces.

At our January meeting, we’ll share our main goals for the year, kick off our committees with an overview of each focus area and ways to get involved for the January–June cycle, and share an overview of the events and programming we’re hoping to bring to life in Columbus from March through October 2026.

Whether you’re an individual skater, part of a skate group, an organization leader, or simply curious, we’d love to see you there.

01/06/2026

SkateColumbus is forming committees to help move our collective goals forward!

From now through January 14, we’re inviting people to apply to join one of four committees that will work together from January–June 2026 to advocate for safer streets, inclusive public spaces, and a more skateable Columbus.

Our four committees are:

• Street Safety – focused on safer streets, bike lanes, visibility, and policy that considers small wheels
• Parks & Rec / Permanent Spaces – advocating for courts, trails, and multi-use spaces designed with skaters in mind
• History & Culture – preserving skate history, storytelling, and honoring Columbus skate roots
• Events & Community Programming – supporting meetups, collaborations, and community-centered skate experiences

All are welcome.

This includes:
Individual skaters
Casual and commuter skaters
Skate group and crew members
Skate group and organization leaders
People who care about movement, access, and public space

You don’t need to be an expert or to have done this before. You just need interest, care, and a willingness to work together.

If you’re interested in joining a committee for the January–June 2026 cycle, you can apply now through January 14.
The interest form link is available in our Linktree.

💥 Thank You, Columbus Skaters! 💥

SkateColumbus hosted its very first community interest meeting last night, and WOW, what a beautiful beginning. Thank you to everyone who came out, brought ideas, asked questions, and added your voice to the vision.

Special thanks to the Columbus Metropolitan Library for providing us with an accessible and welcoming space to gather, and for their amazing local history archive, which includes powerful stories from our city’s skate past.

This movement is just getting started. Together, we’re laying the groundwork to advocate for better skate infrastructure, equitable public spaces, and a culture that supports all small-wheeled movement across Columbus.
