3/25/10 Your Local Skatepark







Growing up our version of a skatepark was a cheap ramp made of plywood that someone found behind a supermarket. We would all skate the ramp, until someone broke it. Today, most cities have their own skateparks. The best website that I found to find your local park is www.socalskateparks.com. The site will give you all sorts of good info. and a review of the park. For example, this is the review for my local park in Diamond Bar: "The Diamond Bar Skatepark is by no means cramped and features a large reservoir section with 3' to 6' trannys. There is also a 4' bowled half-pipe section with a spine connecting it to the reservoir section. The flow of the park is decent, metal coping is fast, and the concrete is smooth but not the fastest I have ever skated. Throughout the skatepark is the usual street type terrain including an 8 stair, ledges, rails and so on. Bottom Line: The Diamond Bar skateboard park is worth checking out if you are into small transition skateboarding."
