I love the history of this park but it’s tricky to skate. Small upper bowl with various transitions leads to drainage ditch transitions that snake down to the big bowl. Middle section is unforgiving. Old fashioned sidewalk surfing in the very back corner of the park.
Built in 1976, Derby skatepark in Santa Cruz is one of the oldest skateparks in the world. It was resurfaced around 10 years ago and locals feared the new concrete might distort the original transitions and lines. I guess preserving it for another 50 years is better than have it crumble away. The park itself is so fun- obviously there's no ledges or rails or stairs here, you come here to bomb it down the snakerun and pretend you're in the Bones Brigade. A piece of skateboarding folklore and a definite bucket list park for any skatepark enthusiast. #1000skateparkchallenge #cementurians
Iconic skate spot!! Waxed to perfection for those who can skate!! Watch out for pine cone dropping
Historic NorCal skatepark, which is a must skate visit for any skateboarding enthusiast.
Nice snake run into a plate, not a bowl. It takes a while to get used to it but can be fun once you do.
Place is huge and beautifully maintained. Lots of well behaved off leash dogs. Also a good spot for bird watching
I like the Big grassy area for the kids to play soccer and run around. There wasn't a bathroom but there was a porta potty at least which is better than nothing and the skate park area had lots of kids and Families
Used to ba a big fan of this place but the salmon marsala I had this visit was overcooked, saturated in too sweet sauce and loaded with gooey onions. fries were great and so was the salad. Beer always good.
Great, old school skate park with tons of skate history. We had a fun hour here of skating. Santa Cruz is rad
3rd oldeat skate park in the country. Lots of history here.
