Skateboard Parks in San Diego
Skateboard Parks
Skateboarding culture has always thrived in San Diego, and recent changes in liability laws have encouraged a jump in the number of skate parks. A good number of top pro skateboarders live in San Diego and often practice and perfect new moves at local skate parks. Pads and helmets (always a good idea anywhere) are required at all parks.
Escondido Sports Center (3315 Bear Valley Pkwy., Escondido. 760/839-5425. www.ci.escondido.ca.us) has a 22,000-square-foot skate park that includes a miniramp, street course, and vertical ramp. Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA (200 Saxony Rd., Encinitas. 760/942-9622) is very popular among the many pros in this beach town. It has a competition street course, two cement pools, and a classic vertical ramp, installed for the 2003 X games. Ocean Beach Skatepark at Robb Field (2525 Bacon St., Ocean Beach. 619/525-8486) is the largest park in the city. It has a huge street plaza, bowls, ledges, grind rails, and quarterpipes.
