Background The Overpass Skate Park is owned by the City of Hopkins and operated by the 3rd Lair. The Overpass opened in spring 2000 as one of the largest skate parks in the metro area. The Hopkins Area Jaycees donated $135,000 toward the park. Overpass Skate Park, located under the Highway 169 bypass in Hopkins, spans across 18,000 square feet and offers skating enthusiasts piano banks, fun boxes, kinked rails and staircases, as well as protective helmets and pads. The highway overpass protects skateboarders, inline skaters, scooters, and BMX bikers from light rain, but does not offer protection from rainstorms...

Have a great day everyone, we will be back at it tomorrow.

Our annual O.U.T. contest is the longest running event we host at 3rd Lair.  This flat ground, tournament style contest will highlight some of the most talented and technical skateboarders in the Twin Cities.  We are excited to host this event in partnership with our friends Cal Surf and Minneapolis Open Streets.  Space is very limited (only 32 spots available) so email kyle@3rdlair.com if you would like a spot.  This event is free to enter and will feature a cash purse.

We have partnered up with a number of local brands to host the Air The Sign Instagram contest throughout the month of April.  It is simple to enter - just grab the sign (it is in the park) and huck some tricks over it while your buddy films.  Upload to your instagram account and tag it #airthesign #3rdlair #WDRF - we are stoked to see what you rippers are able to lay down for some amazing prizes.
