Skate Park
- Artist: Jeff L. Hall
- Material Used: Steel and UV-Protected Fiberglass
- Location: Woodstock Skate Park
Skate Park, an approximately 16-foot piece by Virginia artist Jeff L. Hall , was installed in March 2024 at Woodstock Skate Park. The work features an abstract, wheel tread-themed lighted base, which serves as a foundation for a series of stacked rings that frame a variety of energized silhouettes. The silhouettes capture youth partaking in “wheeled” sports including skateboarding, roller blading, scootering, and BMX biking.
The sculpture reflects the colors and atmosphere of the park and is designed to be viewed from any angle.
