Skateboarding is restricted in parts of downtown Greensboro and on city plazas to protect pedestrians and property. The LeBauer Park and Center City Park areas post no-skating signs, while the city operates Latham Skate Park as a designated place to ride.
Greensboro Code Chapter 30 and Chapter 28 give the city authority to restrict skateboarding, scootering, and similar wheeled activity in places where it endangers pedestrians or damages public property. Downtown plazas, Center City Park, LeBauer Park steps, and the Cultural Center have posted signage prohibiting skating. The city operates Latham Skate Park on Wendover Avenue with bowls and rails open free to the public. Skating in the street follows bicycle rules and must yield to vehicles. Helmets are recommended; private property owners can prohibit skating on their lots.
Skating in posted no-skating zones is a civil violation with a citation, and damaging granite ledges or planters can lead to additional charges of vandalism or restitution under city code.
