Martin County, FL Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Sec. targets wheeled recreation directly: skateboarding, skating, in-line skating and bicycling are confined to pathways, sidewalks, and any area the County has designated as a skate park. Riding on grass, athletic fields, parking lots, docks, or any other park surface outside those three categories violates the rule. The restriction sits among more than 30 lettered prohibitions in Sec. 2, alongside rules on fires, weapons, glass containers and vehicle access, all enforced under the same Chapter 17 park-rules framework. Separately, Martin County's noise ordinance addresses the sound a skateboard ramp itself generates once it leaves County parkland: Sec.

in a residential land use designation if doing so creates noise across a real property boundary, meaning a homeowner who lets neighborhood kids use a backyard ramp late at night can be cited even though no park is involved. The two provisions come from different chapters, one General Ordinances article for parks (Chapter 17) and the county noise ordinance (Chapter 67), so a rider needs to check both: where skating is allowed inside a County park, and when a home ramp can be used without disturbing neighbors.
