Outdoor skatepark in Winona to hold grand opening

(KWNO)-The City of Winona, Anthem Skatepark, and the West End Recreation Complex Fundraising Team are excited to announce the grand opening of the new free, outdoor, concrete skatepark on Saturday, November 7, at 11:00 a.m. Everyone is invited to celebrate as the Winona Outdoor Skatepark officially opens to the public following a ribbon cutting ceremony at the West End Recreation Complex located at 800 W. 5th Street, Winona, MN 55987. Attendees are encouraged to bring their boards, scooters, bikes, and helmets and other safety gear to try out the new park.

This project was made possible through a combination of State of Minnesota capital investment funding and private community fundraising. In the 2025 legislative session, the State enacted a capital improvement appropriation that included $550,000 to the City of Winona for a skatepark. In addition, the West End Rec Fundraising Team raised $148,000 from local donors to help complete the project.

“Winona has always been home to a passionate skate community, and this project elevates that energy to an entirely new level. Primary Concrete created a world-class design, and we can’t wait to see skaters discover new lines, push their creativity, and build community in this new space,” said Zach Krage, Owner of Anthem Skate Shop and Manager of the Winona Indoor Skatepark
