What you’ll find on the map

Each spot type has its own marker color and icon, so you can tell a park from a ledge before you tap it.

  • Skateparks

    Public and private parks, indoor and outdoor. Where it’s known, the spot shows whether entry is free, if there are lights, and what the surface is.

  • Street spots

    Ledges, rails, stairs, banks, and gaps around town. Check the photos to size up the obstacle before you make the trip.

  • DIY spots

    Spots skaters built themselves, usually concrete and often unofficial. Check the latest photos, and whether the spot is marked closed, before you go.

  • Pump tracks

    Paved loops of rollers and banked turns you ride by pumping instead of pushing, on a board, bike, or scooter.

Skate shops are on the map too.

Check the obstacle and location

Tap a spot and its sheet slides up over the map. It shows the photos, spot type, and address, with Open in Maps and Copy right there.

Pull the sheet up for everything else that’s known about the spot:

  • Description and exact coordinates
  • Free, paid, or membership
  • Indoor, outdoor, or covered
  • Surface: concrete, asphalt, wood, or metal
  • Lights, and who can ride: skateboards, BMX, scooters, rollerblades
  • Bust risk, gear rules, and restrooms
  • A Closed or Under construction notice when it applies

From the sheet

  • Open in Maps for directions
  • Copy the address or coordinates
  • Share a maps link
  • Report a spot that’s closed or gone

Not every spot has every detail. The sheet only shows what’s known.

Save spots and track your submissions

Browsing is open to everyone. Sign in when you want to save a spot, add one, or suggest a fix. Your profile keeps your saved spots and the status of everything you’ve sent.

Saved
Open any saved spot back on the map from your profile.
Submitted
Each submission shows Pending, Approved, or Needs work.

Suggest a fix for a spot

Spotted a better photo, a misplaced pin, or a wrong detail? Suggest the change from the spot sheet, or report a spot that’s closed or gone. Staff check each suggestion before it changes the public map.

You can reopen and edit a pending suggestion. A pending new spot shows its status but can’t be edited yet.

Add a photo and pin

To add a spot, give it a name, at least one clear photo (up to five), a spot type, and a pin on the map, then confirm the spot and photos can be shared. A short note on the obstacle, surface, or approach helps the next skater.

Everything else is optional. Fill in what you know, like lights, surface, or whether it’s free, and leave the rest blank. The app won’t fill in guesses for you.

Staff review each new spot before it appears on the public map. If something needs fixing, your profile shows Needs work.

Before you install

Is it free?

Yes. Browsing the map, saving spots, and adding spots are all free.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to browse the map or open a public spot. Sign-in is required to save, submit, or suggest changes.

Which phones does it run on?

Android, through the Google Play beta, and iPhone, through TestFlight by invitation.

Can I add a street spot?

Yes. Choose Street spot as the type, add a clear photo of the obstacle, and put the pin where it is. Staff review it before it’s public.

Does every spot have complete information?

No. Photos and details vary by spot, and the sheet only shows what’s known. Signed-in skaters can suggest a better photo, pin, or detail.

When does a new spot become public?

New spots and suggested updates stay private until staff review them. Approval makes the accepted information public on the map.
