Finding a good skatepark to practice and perfect ollies, grinds and other tricks in any area can sometimes be difficult and elusive. Thanks to the town's central location between Orlando and Daytona Beach, there are quite a few in or around the Deltona area to choose from.
Built by award winning skatepark designers Team Pain, the Deltona Skatepark is an excellent park equipped with anything a skater may need. With more than 10,000 square feet of concrete made up of multicolored lips and ledges, a half-pipe and ramps, there is plenty of room for tricks in Deltona. The skatepark is free but is often used to capacity with noticeable wear-and-tear.

The NSB (New Smyrna Beach) Skatepark, opened since 2009, is located 30 miles east of Deltona. The 8,500-square-foot outdoor concrete park designed by Team Pain is made up of a combination street, pool and mini-ramp features that allow for unique transfers and lines unlike what a skater would find in a normal skatepark. This park is free for all boarders and in-line skaters and a helmet is required at all times. The NSB Skatepark is also in search of donations to continue to expand and install lights for night skating.
