Kitty Hawk skatepark is the best park in the obx, IMO.
Aviation skatepark is one you can miss. All weird transition with little kids doing Canadian fly outs.
The YMCA in Nags head is almost all dilapidated skate light, but has a pretty crazy concrete bowl that is pretty okay to ride (a couple cracks but easy to avoid)
Rodanthe skatepark (maybe 45 minutes from Nags Head) is a newer concrete park that is pretty fun. Buxton (another 45 minutes past rodanthe, has a small transition heavy park, but I don’t think it’s maintained very well and is pretty sticky.
Manteo park is pegged as a “street plaza,” but its really just two concrete quarters facing each other with some ledges and a set of stairs in between. Manteo is awesome to bike around though, so if you’re going into manteo I’d bring a board, but wouldn’t go into manteo just to skate the park there.
As for street, it’s pretty much a bust. There’s a small ledge/manny pad thing behind the TJ maxx in Kill Devil Hills that’s sort of fun. There are these rubber playground roller things at Dowdy Park right across from the YMCA in Nags head, but might be a problem if little kids are playing there. Manteo has some gaps and things, and they just recently remodeled the community college there, so there are tons of unwxed ledges and things like that, but most likely would be a quick kick out if not a ticket. There’s a fun gap with a slight downhill landing at the automotive store across the street from the manteo park, right next to the piggly wiggly. I’ve skated it during there business hours and never had an issue.
There is this weird kicker over a sidewalk gap that’s behind Slice Pizzeria in KDH (actually really close to that aviation park.) I think the building is serves some governmental function, so I only skate it on the weekends, but have never had an issue there.
There used to be some boxes and things set up on the old go cart track that’s along the bypass as you head towards Buxton, but I think all of that’s been torn out and the track was being policed pretty heavily. Might have cooled off by now, as this was a number of years ago. Some fun stuff to check out if you’re bold enough to face potential policing.
I’ve never heard of a curb spot (though there are some parking blocks set up at the manteo skatepark.) if you find one let me know!
Something to check out: the wanchese bowl. Huge skatelight vert bowl out in the marsh. Super heavy to skate but really just an oddity to see. I’m sure if you googled it or asked about it at the skateshop you could get directions there.
Moms Sweet Shop is probably the best skateshop around.
Man, five years ago we had about ten good backyard ramps going, but they’ve all been sold or trashed or whatever. My heart still aches for the Mother Vineyard minivert.
