Kalamazoo Skatepark is a compact neighborhood skatepark located within Upjohn Park on Walter Street in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The park is best known for its mellow transition and bowl-style terrain, including a small half-bowl feature that reaches roughly 5-6 feet. Its approachable transitions make it a good spot for beginners learning to ride ramps while still providing local skaters a place to work on transition tricks.

The skatepark has a laid-back neighborhood feel and is part of a larger city park with plenty of amenities nearby, including playgrounds, sports fields, basketball and tennis courts, picnic areas, restrooms, and connections to the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail.

While the park is relatively small and has limited street-style features, it offers a straightforward session for skaters looking for transition terrain without the intimidation of a larger bowl. Local skaters have also noted that portions of the park could use some maintenance and resurfacing.
