Eden Prairie, MN Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Eden Prairie's skateboard restriction sits inside the park rules of Section 9.04, Subd. 4, which govern conduct on City-owned park property rather than public streets or the City's business districts; the Code contains no general skateboarding ban outside parks. Item AF prohibits bicycles, roller skates (which the Subd. 2 definitions extend to in-line skates and roller skis), skateboards and scooters, along with dogs, from tennis or basketball courts specifically, protecting the playing surface for court sports. The same subdivision layers on other court-specific rules: item AC requires tennis shoes on the court, item AD caps continuous play at one hour when others are waiting, item AE requires a court to be vacated for a scheduled City or physical-education class, and item AH bars playing hockey on a tennis or basketball court.

Together these read as facility-protection rules for two specific court types, not a broader restriction on skateboarding on sidewalks, parking lots, trails or downtown Eden Prairie. Any of these violations, including riding a skateboard onto a court, is classified under the opening line of Subd. 4 as a petty misdemeanor, the same penalty level used across the park-rules section.
