Milwaukee’s Four Seasons Skate Park shuts down after decades, as building sale ends long-running lease

A landmark indoor facility in the Menomonee Valley is closing

Four Seasons Skate Park, a long-running indoor skate facility in Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley, has closed after nearly three decades of operation. The closure follows the sale of the building that housed the park, ending the arrangement that allowed the business to operate in the space.

The facility became a year-round destination for skateboarders and other wheel-sport riders during Wisconsin’s long winter season, operating as an indoor option when outdoor parks and DIY spots are limited by weather.

Why the park is closing

The immediate driver of the shutdown is the change in ownership of the building. With the property being sold, the skate park’s continued tenancy in the space is no longer possible under the prior operating setup. The closure is tied to the real estate transition rather than a single programmatic change at the park itself.

The owner, Jeff Gozdowiak, has described the park’s mission as providing a safe, structured place for riders and has indicated that reopening in a different location remains a possibility.

What Four Seasons offered, and who used it

Over the years, Four Seasons functioned as an all-ages indoor training and community space for multiple action sports. The park accommodated riders across disciplines and skill levels, with programming that included lessons and youth-oriented activities such as camps.

Its longevity also made it a consistent gathering place for local riders and visiting athletes, serving as an indoor hub during months when outdoor riding options become more constrained.

Closure adds pressure on indoor options for year-round riding

The shutdown comes as other indoor skate facilities in the Milwaukee-area face instability tied to leases and building use decisions. In Butler, Cream City Skate Park has also faced closure pressure after losing its lease, shrinking the region’s indoor capacity for skateboarding and BMX during colder months.

These developments have renewed attention on how dependent many niche recreation spaces are on industrial or warehouse real estate, where ownership changes can quickly alter what uses are permitted.

Public-sector skate park planning continues elsewhere in Milwaukee

Separate from the private indoor park landscape, city-backed efforts to build additional outdoor skate infrastructure have advanced in recent years. Milwaukee officials have approved plans connected to a proposed public skate park project supported through tax-increment financing, part of broader redevelopment and public-improvement work in the city.

Four Seasons’ closure removes a long-standing indoor venue, while relocation discussions and new public projects shape what year-round access could look like next.

• Four Seasons Skate Park closed after the building housing it was sold.
• The owner has not ruled out reopening in a different location.
• Other indoor facilities in the region have also faced lease-related uncertainty.
• Milwaukee has ongoing plans for additional public skate park development.
