Sunset Park

Skatepark Heaven

If you're into skateboarding, roller skating, or BMX biking, you're in for a treat at Sunset Park. It's home to the Sunset Skatepark - not just any skatepark, but the largest one in Indiana. Sprawling across a massive 27,000 square feet, this isn't your average concrete playground.

What makes this place special is how it caters to everyone. There's a hybrid roller rink/skatepark zone, flow and pool bowls for those looking for smooth rides, street park-style sections for the urban enthusiasts, and adaptive ledges that welcome beginners and pros alike. The craftsmanship here is impressive - many skaters travel significant distances to enjoy these facilities.

Riverside Relaxation

Perched along Waterworks Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway, Sunset Park is woven into Evansville's riverfront tapestry. The Ohio Riverfront access allows you to combine your active day with some natural beauty.

Feeling like a stroll? A walking path connects you straight to downtown Evansville, making this park both accessible and practical. One of our favorite features has to be the bench swings overlooking the water - there's something deeply calming about sitting there, gently swinging while watching the river flow by.

Thoughtful Design & Family Fun

What we appreciate about Sunset Park is how it honors its roots. The decorative elements throughout the space pay homage to nearby historical sites, including the Angel Mounds. It's this blend of recreation and cultural awareness that gives the park its distinct character.

Bringing the kids? The well-maintained playground makes this spot work for families with children of all ages. While Sunset Park isn't the largest green space in Evansville, what it lacks in size it makes up for with modern facilities and vibrant energy.

Community Vibes

There's a genuine community feel here that's hard to miss. Recent renovations have only enhanced what was already a welcoming space. The facilities are kept clean, and the atmosphere remains family-friendly even when the skatepark is buzzing with activity.

Dog owners will be happy to know the park is dog-friendly, so your four-legged friend can join in on the outing. With easy access and well-maintained grounds, Sunset Park is one of Evansville's quality public spaces that draws regular visitors.
