East Shore Skate Park

East Shore Skate Park is a skate and bike park built to have fun and progress. It is a place for new, young up and coming skaters/riders to learn - and also a great place for advanced riders to meet up for a good session.

The Park is located in Central Lansing, next door to Rogue’s Harbor Restaurant and Bar, and Gimme! Coffee. We’re just outside of Ithaca - only about seven miles north on Rt34/East Shore Drive. The park is right across the street from a great deli called The Sub Shop, and just down the road from a pizza and ice cream shop, Lakebreeze Pizzeria.  However, plan ahead and bring your own food on Sunday, they are both closed.

The building that houses the park was once a grocery store the closed in the early 90’s.  The building sat empty for years, until the current owner bought it with hopes of storing heavy equipment.  With traffic and zoning issues the storage of heavy equipment was not possible at the time.  For four years the building was rented to a contractor whom stored drywall for a large project at Ithaca College.  The IC project ended at just about the sametime we stumbled upon the building.  We approached the building owner, pitched the idea of a skate park, he liked it, and now the old community grocery store is the community skate park.
