31st Street Skatepark

31st Street Skatepark (31st Street Harbor) is an elevated rooftop skate plaza at 3100 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60616. The park sits on top of the harbor parking garage/service building, with panoramic views of downtown Chicago and Lake Michigan. Completed around 2012 as part of the larger 31st Street Harbor redevelopment, the layout is a pure street-style concrete plaza (roughly 5,000-6,000 sq ft). The terrain emphasizes technical street skating over deep transition: ledges, manual pads, stair/rail/hubba combinations, and low slappy-style curb lines, plus a signature wave-style bank feature. The park is generally considered smooth, high-quality cast-in-place concrete and is integrated into a broader green-roof harbor environment with adjacent walking paths, playground, and beach access nearby. Lighting from harbor/security infrastructure supports evening sessions; lakefront wind and colder shoreline conditions can affect seasonal rideability.
