What visitors say
★★★★★
“Fun skatepark with a good flow. The transition in the bowl is a bit hard to get used to but the street features are built well. It’s fun to be able to constantly cruise around in a loop hitting features. The lights are dim at night and there’s lots of brake dust from the freeway.”
★★★★★
“I love love love the lay out of this skatepark however everything but the ledges slides because of the park is always covered in a thick dusting of dust. The bowl would be great if it wasn't painted over so many times. The bowl feels like your riding on a crunchy piece of paper. …”
★★★★★
“fun little park right across the street from Echo Park parking is very slim and hard to come by on a very busy street couldn't find any bathrooms close to the skate park and had to venture into the area by the lake to use the restrooms out of facility over there”
★★★★★
“Wish I could have skated this park properly but alas the rain reduced me to just popping over the hip a few times.
A great use of space, you can skate round in a circle with the half bowl in the middle. Little bit of everything at this one.
