The Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation is working with the Mt Rainier Arts Commission and together they will host Deck the Skate Park: A Public Art Bash on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Mount Rainier Skate Park (down the street from the Glass School and across from Otis Street Arts Project). This Creative Community Day marks the first step in a beautification project for the newly renovated 6,000-square-foot plaza-style skate park, situated at the corner of Wells Avenue and Otis Street.
Mount Rainier residents are invited to contribute ideas for the park’s artistic redesign, with options including murals, sculptures, or a combination of both. Attendees will have the opportunity to vote on the design’s aesthetic, shaping the park’s future as a community landmark. The skate park, equipped with ramps, rails, steps, picnic tables, and benches, serves as a popular gathering spot for skaters and families.
The event features several activities, including:
- Free skating lessons for all skill levels
- Community art projects facilitated by Arts on a Roll
- Complimentary ice cream
- Door prizes
- Activities suitable for all ages
So, on Saturday, June 28th, Noon – 2pm, grab your skateboard, and roll on over to make the Mt Rainier Skate Park a vibrant masterpiece!
