St. Louis restricts skateboarding on certain downtown sidewalks, in front of the Gateway Arch grounds, and in Kiener Plaza, but allows it broadly in residential streets and dedicated skate parks.
Title XV of the Revised Code restricts skateboarding, longboarding, and similar wheeled devices in posted business districts — particularly downtown sidewalks, around the Gateway Arch grounds (federal property administered by the National Park Service), Kiener Plaza, and inside MetroLink stations and parking garages. Riders must yield to pedestrians and follow vehicle traffic rules where allowed. Dedicated skate parks (Kingshighway and Tower Grove) and most residential streets remain open. SLMPD typically issues warnings before citations, and confiscation is rare.
Skateboarding on restricted downtown sidewalks, on the Gateway Arch grounds, or recklessly in traffic can trigger a warning, citation, or temporary confiscation of the board.
