“Nice little skate park in Golden Gate Park. On weekends and sunny days you will see plenty of adults and kids skating and playing music. It’s located right on the edge of the park so it’s easy to access by car and it also touches closed JFK avenue so it’s a great place to walk…”

“There is always someone here skating but definitely more packed on the weekends. Even if don’t skate, it’s great to listen to the music and/or watch. It’s all ages. Saw a tent renting out skates which is a first. It’s been recently repaved.”
