About the Park
With new rails, jump boxes, gaps, quarter pipes, and skate lite, our
park is a blast to skate and bike! Here at the park we strive to provide a fun
and positive environment for children and adults to come and enjoy their need
for extreme sports.
We have numerous professional athletes practicing
almost on a daily basis, but this park is open and available for people of all ages and skills to enjoy.
We operate the only supervised
skate park in the city of San Diego!
Our facilities include:
 | Concrete pool |
| Beginner course |
| Mini-ramps |
| Intermediate course |
| Advanced BMX course |
| 2006 X-Games Vert Ramp |
Skate Camp
Skate Camp is the most fun you’ll ever have. Staff at the Skate Park teach all the children in groups by their skill levels, giving them the best instruction from experienced skateboarders.
There are winter camp, spring camp and summer camp sessions available.
