About
La Fayette Skate Plaza is a 24-hour street skating destination in Los Angeles featuring ledges, stairs with down rails, and small ramps. Skaters appreciate the manual pad and unique Carl's Jr star obstacle, plus street quarter pipes at the building's base. While the park has solid technical elements for street skating, visitors note it's best for shorter sessions rather than all-day sessions. The compact layout offers around five main obstacles. Keep in mind the park can get crowded with non-skaters and has experienced maintenance and cleanliness issues. Despite its limitations, the park serves the local Koreatown community and remains a functional street skate spot with room for improvement.
What visitors say
★★★★★
“Decent street skatepark with good flat ledges and stairs with down rails. No flat bar and no transition. The Carl’s Jr star would be better if there was cement under it but still a fun feature to mess around on. The street quarter pipes at the base of the building above the park …”
★★★★★
“Is this a Carls Jr funded park? Why does it have their star logo? Is it just a star? Why didn't they just build a square bank?
So many questions, so little time to ponder as it was raining and miserable so I left.

★★★★★
“Embarrassing skatepark. A lot of times there are civilians using the curved ledge as a bench or there's a bum passed out on the A-frame. In bad shape. Missing out on so much potential with all of the open space surrounding it- that's the only reason I give this more than one…”
★★★★★
“I was a little disappointed when I came to visit this park. There's only one small ramp and some nice edges and corners to slide on but that was about it. Beyond that, it great that this park is here. There was definitely no shortage of skate boarders making use of the place.
