BACON & EGGS SKATEPARK

8,000 Sqft

The Bacon & Eggs Skatepark in Wilkeson, Washington is a fully skateable work of public art brought to life through a collaboration between local artist John Hilding, the Town of Wilkeson, and Grindline Skateparks. Originally conceived as a playful intersection of art and skateboarding, the project evolved into a bold, functional landscape where sculpture and movement are fully integrated.

 

The park’s iconic features include a giant frying pan, two sunny-side-up eggs, and a 30-foot ridable strip of bacon, transforming familiar forms into dynamic terrain. Designed for both creativity and progression, the space invites skaters to approach lines in unconventional ways, blending visual impact with rideability.

 

Funding came from a combination of grassroots fundraising, state support, and personal contributions, reflecting strong community investment in the project. The Bacon & Eggs installation builds on an earlier 3,600-square-foot skatepark completed by Grindline in 2015, with later improvements connecting the two areas into a cohesive site.

 

Today, the park stands as a local landmark and destination, demonstrating how public art can be interactive, functional, and rooted in community identity.
