Recreation Park Skatepark

Not a bad park but if you don’t wear full pads you will get a citation. Don’t go here! Boycott this place.

Love this place the locals are chill AF! Minus all the guys that are too stoned to care. Love my lines here clean varial down the 2 board slide the short rail 5 – 0 the mini quarter to 5050 on the small ledge. All day!!! the bowl is pretty cool too. Not really a place for little ones thou even thou I bring my daughter here often she gets board quick. With nothing else really attached except the baseball field but all in all. Awesome place to skate.

Small park that could get crowded real fast. Pool part has these strange whoops in it. Street part is a lot of stuff packed into a small area. Gotta know your lines and be quick to tranny to the next.

Although Recreation Park is pretty big, the skate park is not. It only has two sections, a pool and a «street» area. The pool has three berms in the middle running from side-​to-​side that separate a 3-​foot bowl from a 6-​foot bowl. The street side has two distinct levels with three ramps and couple of sheer 4′ drops, with the upper level being split again into two sections separated by two steps. There’s also a lot of rails so plenty of grinding opportunity.
Saturday mornings there’s a few regular skater Dads who come with their daughters, and another Dad who skates with his two teenage sons, then late morning to early afternoon the regulars rock up. For the most part, everyone seems to respect everyone else. My daughter is taking lessons and a couple of times the young guy teaching the class has asked the regulars to give him & the groms some space in and around the bowl, and they do. Respect.
There are signs posted saying helmets, elbow & knee pads are required. My daughter wears them anyway, as do the dads and their kids, but a lot of the older skaters don’t even wear helmets. The Park Ranger has stopped by a few times to enforce the rules but apparently he only writes tickets when he’s having a bad day. For the most part it seems if you don’t have your gear he just kicks you out.
