Skatelab

Skatelab opened in 1997. It was located at 4226 Valley Fair Street, Simi Valley, California, United States (US).

The 30,000 square foot facility was built by Team Pain Skate Parks of Winter Springs, Florida and was the first skatepark in America to use Finland Birch on its ramps.

Skatelab was owned by punk singer, baseball coach and retired major-league baseball player, Scott Radinsky.

In January 2019, the skate park closed its doors after 21 years of operation due to declining attendance and a large increase in the facility rent.

In February 2019, Steve Badillo,Pro Skateboarder and long-time head skateboarding instructor at Skatelab, became the new owner of Skatelab, its trademark and all rights. The Assignment to Steve Badillo was officially recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on February 13, 2019. Badillo plans to re-locate Skatelab to another facility in Simi Valley.
