Ryan C. Joubert Skatepark, Fitchburg, MA
Featuring an outdoor, lighted park with restrooms, the Ryan C. Joubert Skatepark in Fitchburg was created in honor of the 16-year-old, who died in a car accident back in November 2000. Ryan traveled to New Hampshire, Vermont, and all around Massachusetts to skate, so those creating this park in his memory pulled out all the stops. Located at Parkhill Park, the skate park features a fabulous bowl and big steel coping. Managed by the city of Fitchburg, the park is well-maintained. Helmets and pads are required.
Concord-Carlisle Skatepark, Concord, MA
