Driggs works to improve existing facilities and expand its recreation system in accordance with the county-wide Recreation Master Plan with the input of the City's Parks & Recreation Committee.
Current Projects
The City of Driggs has hired Dreamland Skateparks to design and build a 3500-5000sf expansion of the 5th Street Skatepark using a combination of Park Impact Fee funds and local sales tax funds.
The project kicked off with a public open house on Monday August 12, 2024 that was attended by 15-20 park users and Dreamland Skateparks staff. Ideas for improvements were discussed and compiled.
Dreamland Skateparks presented a Design Concept on November 18th at City Hall and will be incorporating many great ideas from park users for the more detailed design expected to be ready in February for presentation to the public, Parks Committee and City Council for approval. If you have comments on the linked concept above, please email those to Doug Self: DSelf@DriggsIdaho.org.
Check back here for updates on the design process/progress.
Construction is expected in summer of 2025. The majority of the skatepark will stay open during construction.
