Skateboarding: 7 skate parks on the Treasure Coast, 3 more coming soon
The skateboarding scene on the Treasure Coast is growing.
At least three new skate parks are in the works for Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties — adding to the existing seven skate parks in the area where skateboarding is allowed.
In the East Stuart neighborhood, about 12,500 square feet has been designated for a skate park at Guy Davis Park, specifically at 724 S.E. 10th St., according to city spokesperson Misti Guertin.
City officials are waiting on a conceptual rendering, followed by comments from the design team, Guertin said. They are expecting to bring project details to the commissioners this year.
In Port St. Lucie's Torino area, city officials have been getting community feedback about the skateboarding features at the skate park at the future Torino Regional Park, a 195-acre complex on North Torino Parkway.
Construction is expected to begin during the first few months of 2026, according to officials. Action Sports Design, the company behind the skate park, is making it accessible to skateboarders, bikers, scooter riders, in-line skaters and more.
In Vero Beach's Three Corners area near the former power plant, the Vero Beach Skate Park Alliance — which turned 10 years old in May — is waiting for details about the city's plan with its chosen developer for the Three Corners project before it has more information about a skate park going there.
The project is a mixed-use development of entertainment, recreation, restaurants, shopping and open space that would be built on city-owned land along the waterfront at 17th Street and Indian River Boulevard.
Until the new skate parks open, here are the seven existing skate parks across the Treasure Coast and what they have to offer skateboarders.

The Fellsmere Skate Park opened in October 2021 at the end of Myrtle Street near the basketball courts. It was funded through a $700,000 Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant.
The park was proposed five years ago by then 10-year-old Kyle Goldsmith of Fellsmere, who approached the City Council about the need for more recreational opportunities for local youth.
222 S. Myrtle St., Fellsmere
The Lawnwood Skate Park opened in 2008 next to the Havert L. Fenn Center in Fort Pierce. Orlando-based Team Pain worked through architecture firm Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin Lopez Rinehart, which has built ramps and parks for the X Games and Tony Hawk.
For a year, they teamed with St. Lucie County Parks and Recreation staff and the skate park committee to design the plans and build the $500,000, 15,000-square-foot concrete facility. The architects gave blank sheets of paper to the kids on the committee for them to draw their skate park.
It includes a street area with a four-flat, four-double set with a square handrail and a hubba; a 50-foot-long ledge with three smaller handrails; a curved ledge; a manual pad ledge; a bench; a whale tail ledge; and a snake run.
2100 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce; open 8 a.m. to dusk daily; stlucieco.gov
The skate park at Mary Brogan Park in Stuart opened in 2000 at 12,000 square feet in size.

The skate park at Jock Leighton Park in Palm City opened in 2004. It's 13,382 square feet in size and includes a 6-foot half-pipe, a street course with two fun boxes in the middle — one with a rail and another with a ledge — two corner pyramid boxes and a big bank drop-in section.
3755 S.W. Mapp Road, Palm City; open sunrise to 8:15 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, sunrise to 9:15 p.m. Friday-Saturday; martin.fl.us/SkateParks

It has a 30-inch drop-in ramp, an earthquake gap, a grass gap, a manual pad with grind rail, a multilevel combo pad, straight and curved grind ledges, a 4-foot-tall taco and a hubba.
It's the only skate park in Martin County with a staff member present during specific hours of operation.
2151 N.E. Dixie Highway, Jensen Beach; open sunrise to 8 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, sunrise to 9 p.m. Friday-Saturday; martin.fl.us/SkateParks
Skate City: Only outdoor public skating rink on Treasure Coast reopens
Port St. Lucie: City is planning two new parks

Phillies Make $800,000 Announcement During Win Over Cubs
Phillies Make $800,000 Announcement During Win Over Cubs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As it turns out, Brandon Marsh and the Philadelphia Phillies weren't the only ones celebrating at Citizens Bank Park on Monday night. Advertisement Midway through a 4-3, 11-inning win over the Chicago Cubs, the Phillies announced they'd raised over $800,000 on ALS Night. The Phillies thanked Asplundh, a Pennsylvania-based environmental services company, for their help. Asplundh donated $365,000 in honor of former executive Scott Asplundh, who is battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. 'Tonight's event was about giving hope to the brave individuals and their families who are affected by ALS,' Phillies owner John Middleton said. Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh celebrates with teammates after hitting an 11th-inning single to beat the Cubs 4-3 on June 10, Ross-Imagn Images 'We thank our fans, and especially Asplundh, for all their support as we aim to find a cure for this terrible disease,' Middleton added. Advertisement The Phillies announced that they've raised nearly $24 million to fight ALS since 1984. Major League Baseball celebrated Lou Gehrig Day on June 2, the 84th anniversary of Gehrig's passing. On the field, the Phillies gave those in attendance — including an 'ALS Lineup of Courage' featuring those affected by the disease — a night to remember. Down 3-2 in the 11th, the Phillies tied the game on a single by J.T. Realmuto. Bryson Stott legged out a bunt single, and rookie third baseman Otto Kemp completed a three-hit night with a bunt single of his own, loading the bases. That set the stage for Marsh's walk-off single. The slumping Marsh went 2-for-3 off the bench and ended the Phillies' five-game losing streak.

Kevin Lee hopes all of Team Khabib gets to witness him beat Gadzhi Rabadanov in PFL debut
Kevin Lee has all the motivation he needs to make weight and pull off an upset in his short-notice debut against Gadzhi Rabadanov at 2025 PFL World Tournament 6. Former interim UFC lightweight challenger Lee (20-8) was signed to PFL in May to step into the lightweight tournament semifinal against 2024 champion Rabadanov (25-4-1) on June 20 at INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan. (ESPN, ESPN+). Advertisement Although he only got the assignment on roughly one months' notice, and will have to cut to the lightweight limit for the first time since May 2020, Lee said this opportunity comes at the perfect time, and it's one he feels fully prepared to take advantage of. "Even going back to the UFC my whole goal has been to prove I'm still one of the top lightweights in the world, that I'm still one of the top fighters," Lee told MMA Junkie Radio. "I got this opportunity now. This guy is tough. The best fighters aren't always in the UFC. We've seen it with Bellator. We've seen it with other PFL champions. We saw it back in the day with WEC, with Strikeforce. All over the board. There's good fighters all over the world, and this guy is one of them. He's on a hell of a win-streak, he won PFL's last tournament at lightweight in 2024. "It's my chance to go out there and shut him down and prove that I'm still one of the best guys, because he does train at the team where they hold all the lightweight titles right now. To take one of them away from them is going to feel pretty good." The team Lee is referring to is that of UFC Hall of Famer Khabib Nurmagomedov, which also houses former UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev and current PFL Champion Series lightweight titleholder Usman Nurmagomedov. Advertisement Lee has always wanted to compete against athletes from the Dagestan-based gym, and strongly believes his American wrestling style is a strong counter to the high-level grappling that team offers. He never got the chance to prove it during his UFC tenure against Nurmagomedov or Makhachev, but intends to now, and he hopes those names are in the corner of his opponent to see it. "I hope the whole team is there to watch," Lee said. ""I'm in shape for the fight. The weight cut is going great. I'm more disciplined now than I was in the past. Me not having to cut the weight for five years, that was the last time I fought at lightweight, that's honestly gave my body a little bit of a break, and my mental a little bit of a break. ... When I step onto the scale and even into the cage, he's going to be real surprised how big and lean I am." Since he parted ways with UFC in mid-2023 following a brief second stint, Lee has struggled to find a consistent new home. He was part of the upstart GFL brand, which quickly fizzled before its inaugural show, among others. PFL is a proven organization at this point, though, and as Lee looks ahead to his future, he looks to be a prominent part of the company. Advertisement "Right now I'm with PFL, and after this one, I think I'll probably be their marquee guy and continue to get bigger and bigger," Lee said. "For now I'm with PFL and that's where I'm at. We never know with the future, where the biggest challenges are going to come from."

Cooper Flagg headlines NBA Draft guide finally arriving. Plus, the Magic nail new jerseys
The Bounce Newsletter | This is The Athletic's daily NBA newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Bounce directly in your inbox. Let's hope the Panthers' blowout of the Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final is not indicative of our NBA Finals Game 3 tomorrow night. Are these cosmically tied? Magic knock it out of park with new jerseys It feels like the NBA and Nike have struggled with their jersey designs since creativity and production were moved back from Adidas to the swoosh company. There have been iterations of some jersey concepts and valid criticism about what designers were thinking with certain ideas. Advertisement Sometimes, the easiest way to get people on your side is to lean into some really good nostalgia and go from there. That's mostly what the Magic are doing with the unveiling of both their new uniforms and court for the 2025-26 season. Remember those sweet pinstripe uniforms we saw Shaquille O'Neal, Penny Hardaway, Nick Anderson, Dennis Scott and Geert Hammink wear back in the mid-1990s? The Magic are bringing a version of that back with their new Icon, Association and Statement jerseys. Because we don't do home, away and alternate as the jersey names anymore, here's a breakdown: I love the Icon and Association joints immediately. The Association is an 11 out of 10, like 'Spinal Tap' turning up the volume on their amps. I have absolutely no notes there. The Icon is a 9.5 out of 10 for me. The 'Orl⭐ndo' is a little funny because it's smaller and looks a little squeezed in there, but it's still a killer uniform across the board. Admittedly, I don't fully love the Statement jerseys. The blue panel on the top is bugging me a bit. I like the diagonal Magic with the white lines separating it. I love the black with the pinstripes. But I'd rather the blue panel not be there. For me, we're looking at a 7.5 or 8 out of 10. Still a great look, mostly. We also got a peek at the court design they're putting in, and it looks pretty good for the KIA Center. It'll look better with the real deal and not this rendering, but I'm a fan. Not enough teams embrace nostalgia when rebranding uniforms. Kudos to the Magic and Nike for pretty much nailing this design. Your ultimate NBA Draft guide has arrived! 🏀 It's finally here!

Bouncers, what are your feelings on the finals? We currently sit at a 1-1 series in the NBA Finals. The Pacers did what they came to do in the first two games: take home-court advantage away from the Thunder. They didn't manage to do what they did in the previous two rounds, which was to take both of the first games on the road, but grabbing one in OKC is no joke. The key will be holding serve on their own home court Wednesday and Friday in Indianapolis. We're going to break down what the Pacers and Thunder both need to do for Game 3 in tomorrow's edition of The Bounce. But we want to hear from you, The Bouncers. We have the following questions for you: You can access that poll here, and send along your votes. We'll get to the results in tomorrow's Bounce. We appreciate your participation, as always! What's going on in New York? If you're going to fire your head coach who just got you to the conference finals for the first time in 25 years, it would be ideal to have a successor lined up to take over. The Knicks recently fired Tom Thibodeau, and maybe the plan this entire time was to try to grab Jason Kidd away from the Mavericks. He has two years left on his deal, so they can't just outright sign him. However, coaches do get traded to teams every once in a while, and Kidd was once traded as a head coach from the Nets to the Bucks for two second-rounders. However, according to James Edwards III, it isn't expected that the Mavericks will grant the Knicks a request to interview Kidd about the open position, if they do in fact make one. Advertisement 'The Knicks, while they might be preparing to ask for permission to interview Kidd for their vacancy, have not yet made a formal request. There has yet to be any contact as of Monday morning, per a Mavericks team source. And yet, when that time comes, per multiple league sources, the expectation is that the Mavericks will deny that request.' That doesn't mean a deal couldn't still happen. As James outlines, there are already business relations between Knicks owner James Dolan and Mavs owner Miriam Adelson for use of The Sphere in Las Vegas. They could potentially usurp any front-office posturing and make something happen. The Knicks have only one first-round pick (2032) to move in such a deal, but they do have a few second-round options they could work with — if the Mavericks are willing to settle for that. Doc Rivers was traded to the LA Clippers by the Boston Celtics for a first-round pick in 2013. As for the potential options with head-coaching experience mentioned in James' article, I'm still not certain any of these guys are definitely an upgrade over Thibodeau. None of those seem like definite upgrades to me, although the Knicks would likely sell Malone as a championship hire with the hardware attached to him. If Kidd does end up finding his way to Madison Square Garden, then his relationship with Jalen Brunson will likely be the reason. Not to mention, I'm not sure it's good business image-wise to be lumped into the vitriol thrown at the Mavericks organization right now. The real issue at hand just appears to be that the Knicks maybe didn't have a set plan at any point in this decision process. You can't handle a coaching decision like most of us open up the Postmates app What are the Suns doing right now? The Suns have been pure chaos since the NBA approved Mat Ishbia's purchase of the franchise in February 2023. In the two years and three months since, they've acquired Kevin Durant (three days later), traded for Bradley Beal and changed the head coach three times. Recently, Ishbia (a walk-on at Michigan State, where he won an NCAA championship in 2000) hired his former college assistant coach Brian Gregory to run the Suns' front office and Cavs assistant coach Jordan Ott to be the head coach. Advertisement Both men have ties to Michigan State, and Gregory has practically no NBA experience. That's not ideal in today's collective bargaining agreement, second-apron of doom era, but to each their own. Maybe even more confusing is a memo Ishbia reportedly sent out to the basketball operations staff, per Kellan Olson of Arizona Sports, following news of Ott's hire. Ishbia falls just short of calling himself a 'cool owner' and says he's going to be much more involved. 'Let me start with the most important point – the Phoenix Suns will do things very differently than most other NBA franchises,' a part of Ishbia's letter reads. 'I will be extremely active in the decisions and management of this organization, on and off the floor … While I won't be reviewing film, designing offenses, or running the draft room, I will be deeply involved in ensuring that basketball operations, like every other area of our organization, is performing at the highest level. 'I'm aware that this approach is different from most other NBA franchises,' the letter adds. 'I'm not the conventional NBA owner, and I don't want to be. I've tried running the typical NBA owner playbook – hiring the experts, signing the checks, and getting out of the way – and none of us were happy with the outcome. Making the playoffs two out of three years, and only winning one playoff series, is not good enough for this franchise and this community.' The Suns have become a disaster. Ott could be a good hire. And Devin Booker was part of that hiring process. Durant probably wants out. They can't trade Beal. And maybe Ishbia has been grinding Mark Cuban film to figure this whole thing out. I just know a lot of people turned their heads at this news because they thought he was already quite involved in this stuff. So … good luck, Suns fans?
