Comments - The 9th Street DIY skatepark in Canton Ohio is one of the biggest and best in the state. Located on a bunch of old tennis courts and a new blacktop pump track was put in next store. Definitely worth a special trip if your in the midwest. Props to everyone involved in making this park a reality!!!
Directions - From Cleveland follow the 77 south towards Akron. After about 60 miles take exit 105 onto Tuscarawas Street and turn left. Go about a half a mile and make a right onto Schroyer Avenue SW. Then about a half mile later you'll see the park down on your right.
Awesome write-up, Nick! The 9th Street DIY Skatepark sounds like a gem—love that it's free and well-lit till 11pm. As someone often driving from Cleveland for work (I offer at home speech therapy Cleveland), I’ll definitely plan a visit next time I’m down that way. Props to the crew who built this!
9th Street DIY in Canton, Ohio is a great example of how local skaters can shape their own scene. These kinds of community-built spots often carry more character and creativity than large commercial parks. It's great to see SK8PARKATLAS giving it the attention it deserves.

Thanks for highlighting this DIY gem — Canton clearly has a passionate and creative skate community.
This skatepark looks like an awesome spot for skaters in the Midwest! With so many people using it daily, keeping the surfaces clean is a must. A reliable pressure washing service can help maintain the ramps and concrete areas, making the space safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Big respect to those who built and maintain it!
This park sounds like an awesome DIY success—major respect to the community that built it! As someone in the construction industry, I always appreciate seeing creative and functional use of space like this. It’s inspiring, even as a custom home builder Los Angeles, to see how thoughtful design and local passion can bring ideas to life.
This park looks incredible—huge respect to everyone who helped bring it to life! I’ve been planning a trip to Canton and this spot is definitely on my list now. Also, while in the area, I might need to hire a handyman near me for a few minor repairs on my travel trailer. Thanks for sharing!
