Skateboard Parks and Skating

Skateboarding culture has always thrived in San Diego, especially after the 2001 documentary, Dogtown and Z-Boys about the SoCal history of the sport. Many top pro skateboarders live in San Diego, including Shaun White and Tony Hawk, who often practice and perfect new moves at local skate parks. Pads and helmets (always a good idea) are required at all parks.
