Columbia, Missouri, is home to an outdoor facility for skateboarders and inline skaters recognized nationwide by the skating community and its press. Completed in 1999, the park has an elaborate street course designed to entertain and challenge skaters, whether they are beginners or experienced. The 28,000 sq. ft. course was designed by park planning staff and skaters. The skaters who participated in the design process ranged in age from 12-24 years old. Construction was accomplished in-house by the Parks and Recreation construction staff. Although the Skate Park is unlighted at this time, conduit was laid during construction in anticipation that funding for lights might become available in the future. The Skate Park is located at the north end of Columbia Cosmopolitan Recreation Center, also known as Cosmo Park and CCRA. Cosmo Park is designated as a regional park, encompassing 533 acres, and home to Antimi Sports Complex, Rainbow Softball Center, soccer and football fields, and L.A. Nickell Golf Course. Skaters from all over the country and even some outside its borders have come to visit Columbia Skate Park.

The project was completed by in-house construction staff. Labor costs are not charged against a development project when in-house labor is used. Another source of funding was used to construct the 101 car parking lot that services the Skate Park. The $64,000 project budget only includes costs for materials used at the skateboard facility.
