This place should be the skatepark that all skateparks compare themselves too when they are in the…read moredesign phase! I love how tucked away it is in the middle of the City. I love that they allowed for artists to come and adorn the walls and overpass posts with color, culture and names of visitors past. There were a wide range of ages skating, biking, watching. Parents sat with their chairs outside of the complex looking on. There was even a gentleman whom sat by the entrance whom had set up a table and was streaming music. Everyone was very aware of their surroundings and there seemed to be this unspoken understanding of skatepark etiquette everyone was abiding by. It was a mixture of skateboarders and BMX enthusiasts. My 14 year old son has gotten really into skateboarding. It's what he got into during quarantine and this whole Covid thing. It was a way for him to incorporate some physical activity and something to concentrate on and hone in his skills with. I can tell he feels good and feels like he's in shape. He is mindful of what he eats on a daily and ensures he is drinking plenty of water. Not bad for a 14 year old huh? I think what has become a true passion has also helped him in the area of time management. Since he homeschooled for the 18 months or whatever it was he knew he has a set time frame to get school and school work done so that he could get his time in daily to skateboard and then still get online and play a few rounds on his gaming console. I really like how he evens out his time and prioritizes the way he does. I know some adults that cant get a hold of their time and here is this 14 year old in the middle of a pandemic crushing it. He continues to amaze me that one. Anyway, this skatepark. Since my son is passionate about skateboarding I've told him we should make an effort to seek out new parks for him. I sit and read or scroll through my phone and he does what he does and admires other people and their talents. It allows for him to see what he needs to work on and what he wants to accomplish. Every City needs these. They need a place for kids and adults to be able to do something positive and do what they love. There was no charge for this place. Parking is a little daunting as it IS SF but when you are in a City like SF you are aware of the "walking culture"..lol! We parked a couple blocks away. Place is clean and I assume since it is fenced in there is a closing time and someone comes and locks it so the park doesn't become a homeless encampment. It's a great place to visit if you need a place to let off steam, live and let go of all your cares getting some cardio in!

Best when you roll in with your friends…read more I have a strong love/hate relationship with this rink for many reasons (in the short 5 months I've started roller skating). I'll start with the negative; With any public place, you really have to watch out for yourself and your safety. I've gotten physically shoved by one of the older white men who felt like he owned the rink. There are times where you have sketchy people who don't skate and are eying your valuables or may be harassing people. There are some older folks you may need to watch out for, as they are extremely territorial and not friendly to beginners and new skaters. I will say that it is only a tiny percentage of the folks that skate here. On the positive side; It's generally pretty welcoming. If someone is working on something cool that you're interested in and you ask, some people are pretty cool with showing you the ropes and love working on it with you! I've made so many good friends just showing up and working on my own moves and people chatting me up. In general, you just gotta show up and assess the vibe, as it really changes depending on who's skating there. Generally I'd advise going on: Tuesdays and Fridays anytime from 4pm - 10pm (solid group of skaters who watch out for each other and bring lights and music when it gets dark) Saturdays and Sundays anytime from 12pm - 6pm (A lot busier and crowded. Your experience may vary depending on who you know and feel comfortable skating with on the weekend). I typically always go with friends for safety.

Sometimes you'll find dog owners playing in the open areas. It opened in 2008. The place is an urban oasis, surrounded by the busy 101 freeway on one side, and cars buzzing on Potrero Ave. on the other side. But it's pretty peaceful at night. This skatepark is just a year old. Best place in the bay area to watch skateboarders do their thing. At the moment, everyone is respectful, and gets along well. It's also a convenient location when you get hungry, because of the many great places to eat nearby on 24th. The directions to get here are simple: from the 24th & Mission BART station, go down 24th street towards Potrero Ave., carefully cross Potrero (watch out for speeding cars) then turn right on Utah (at Jack's Club), one block to the park entrance. If you're driving, there are many free parking spots at the entrance. Hours: daily until 9pm.

Convenient to get to from the street in front. The park is a safe place to practice a few moves. A few good things about it. It's in an okay location. This is close to the old Kezar Stadium. Difficulty is moderate. Even though it looks simple, it's kind of hard at least for beginners it seems. A lot of crap to jump over seems to be the main message. The park seems to be safe for the area even with all the crazy people jumping off something. Good place to get exercise. It's a fast way here from the busses in front. These go past the park's main entrance to the north of this.

This isn't one of those fancy places with large ramps & empty swimming pool sized bowls, all covered in graffiti.

Opened October, 2022, thanks to the 2012 Park Fund, DLX, Friends of Waller Street, & SF Skate Association. I was there for the Zion Rick Gains memorial. He was a 19 year old devoted skater who, in 2022, was senselessly shot in the face, survived, lost his eyesight, yet continued to skate. Zion passed away in his sleep June 2023.

So we take a break from walking our dog around our environs at least twice a month. A popular destination is this venue, maybe a five minute drive. It is another of the little urban parks that dot San Francisco. Over on the west side, away from Market Street, you would not have any sense of the narrative that has gripped the city. Everything is fine. This is an area with spacious homes, wide streets, and families who are out for an amble. I cannot see anyone making more of an effort to get here than we do. It is perfect for what it is, a playground in a residential area.
