Ride It Sculpture Park

Ride It Sculpture Park Power House Productions presents a neighborhood sculpture park you can ride. Built by artists, designers, pro skaters, and park builders. Free.

Ride it Sculpture Park consists of four vacant commercial lots along East Davison Freeway in Detroit and an adjacent vacant house as the main site for the project. The house will serve as a mini indoor park, transforming parts of the house to be skateable and livable at the same time for visiting skateboarders and artists. The park will extend into the neighborhood revamping neglected alleys, gara

ges and other vacant lots, creating a new and positive use for the forgotten and dismissed landscapes of this great city. And for the Kids on Grant Street, we promise the park will not suck.

A skatepark.

Ride it Sculpture Park sits along the E. Davison Expressway in Detroit, Michigan. Owned & operated by Power House Productions, the park is open to the public 365 days a year.

Ride It is an ever-evolving experience of art and skateable surfaces, combining elements of skateboarding with public art and greenspace into a unique neighborhood landmark. Past projects include: two distinctive design/build phases with notable skater/builders including Evergreen Skateparks; host to Matthew Barney’s Drawing Restraint 19 event performed by skate legend Lance Mountain; outdoor performances, videos, and music. Commissioned work by artist Nari Ward will transform the park’s eastern edge, with the first piece, G.O.A.T. installed November 2017.

Open every day from dawn ‘til dusk, Ride It provides outdoor space for all ages and diverse backgrounds – social, economic and geographic – to constructively and creatively cross paths. Phase 3 built October 2017 with Evergreen Skateparks, sculptures by Nari Ward Phase 2 built October 2013 with Evergreen Skateparks Phase 1 realized Summer 2012 with Northwest Concrete Structures
