skateable helps you decide whether a local skatepark or street spot is worth the trip by giving a live skateability score and concise, crowd-checked condition reports. The app combines weather, recent rain history, surface details, sun exposure and straightforward hazard indicators into a single 0–100 skateability number so you can stop guessing and plan smarter. Tap Plan Session to see forecasted skateability across the next seven days, save your favorite parks for quick access, check recent rider reports, and share a conditions card with your crew — all without creating an account.

Key features

Live skateability score: a single, color-coded 0–100 indicator that summarizes current weather, the last 48 hours of rain, surface type and drainage quality. Forecast planning: the Plan Session tool shows estimated skateability for any hour in the next seven days so you can pick the best time to travel. Community reports: skaters can log whether a park was dry or wet and add short condition notes; recent reports feed into the live score to keep it grounded in rider experience. Park attributes: each location page lists surface materials, sun and shade patterns, drainage behavior and flaggable hazards like loose gravel. Locations and map tools: search by name, filter by distance, and save parks to a personal list for fast access. Quick sharing: generate a compact conditions card you can send to friends, and add parks or log sessions without signing up.

How the score is calculated

The skateability score is an aggregate that weights current weather, recent precipitation history, surface sensitivity and on-site reports. Weather inputs include temperature, wind and immediate precipitation; recent rain history helps determine whether a surface may still be damp even after the rain stops. Surface type is important because older concrete, rough asphalt, timber and steel each respond differently to wetness and sun. Drainage quality and obvious hazards reduce the score to reflect practical riding risk. The app uses conservative assumptions and gives you the numeric breakdown on each park page so you can see which factor drove the score up or down.

Plan Session and user interactions

Plan Session is the core planning mechanic: pick a park, choose an hour in the next seven days and the app projects a skateability number for that time. Controls are simple and direct — tap a park on the map to open details, use the time picker to set a session slot, and swipe or pinch the map to explore nearby spots. Saving parks is a one-tap action so your commonly visited sites are always a tap away. Sharing generates a clear conditions card with score, recent reports and a short note field you can edit before sending. No sign-up is required, so these interactions are fast and privacy-friendly.

Park details, attributes and community reporting

Each park page contains unique data: surface type (modern smooth, old concrete, rough asphalt, timber, steel, indoor), sun exposure, drainage notes and any hazard warnings submitted by users. Community sessions are short check-ins where riders indicate dry or wet and optionally add a brief comment or photo; recent submissions feed into the live score to provide ground-truth context alongside the weather model. Because reports are time-stamped, you can inspect how conditions evolved and decide whether a recent dry report looks reliable for your planned session.

Customization, accessibility and offline use

skateable offers simple customization so the app adapts to your routine: filter parks by distance, surface type and drainage quality; choose metric or imperial units for weather; and set quiet hours for forecast notifications. Accessibility considerations include readable typography, high-contrast score indicators and large tap targets for map interaction. The app caches recently viewed park pages and the last calculated score so limited information is available when you’re offline, but live forecast updates and new community reports require a connection.

Data reliability and known limitations

Coverage depends on parks and community reports, so remote areas may have sparse data and lower confidence in the score. The skateability score reflects the best available weather and report inputs but cannot account for sudden on-site changes such as a sprinkler turning on or a freshly poured patch of concrete. Use the score and recent rider reports as a planning aid, and perform a short on-site check before committing to a session when possible.

Who should use skateable

skateable is aimed at street skaters, park regulars and anyone who wants to avoid wasted trips by checking realistic conditions before they go. The app adds replay value by encouraging routine checks, saving a personal set of parks and contributing quick community reports that make local coverage better over time. Whether you’re scouting new spots or optimizing weekend sessions, the combination of a clear score, forecast planning and community-sourced insight helps you get more riding time with less guesswork.
