The ramps are okay, but skating between them requires rolling over rough asphalt - an old parking lot. The youth center seems like an admirable mission, but it's located on a creepy Scooby Doo-haunted dead miniature golf park..."Hey Scoob, let's scram! This place is like givin' me the creeps!" I'd avoid this place...nearby Los Osos has a much nicer skate park with moderate supervision (no scooters, however). 2 stars - needs improvement.

He who has recently become very enthusiastic about skateboarding. He brought his board and was hoping to find a place to practice tricks and skills. We weren't sure there would be anything nearby, and yelp did not show anything. He was happy to find this skate park right across from where my meeting was, but unfortunately it didn't open for another hour at 3pm. Then promptly at 3 all the local high school kids (all boys today) from the school around the corner came with their boards and a couple with bikes to let out some energy. This place is right in front of the morro bay teen center. We didn't go inside the center but saw that it looked like a pretty good place for kids to gather and maybe hang out, do homework. It's open to kids from grade 7-12. By 3:45pm, all the boys had left the skate park as their parents picked them up. My kid liked having it all to himself. I asked him how he rates this place. He thinks 4 stars and liked the flat ground except for the different structures. He thinks the equipment is in really condition. A good place for kids to practice their skating skills overall. Glad we found it. And happy to add it to yelp for other visitors.

I've come here a few times since it opened and each time I leave quicker than the time before. The…read moredesign of this park follows a common trend seen in a lot of post 2010 california skatepark; it's very pretty to look at and has a big "wow" factor but it's layout just isn't fun for the average skater. The street plaza has your typical linear flow but it really only works in the downhill direction. If you want to hit anything coming back the other way, you've gotta push like hell to have any speed. There's no basic flatbars or ledges under a foot tall where a new skater could learn new tricks. I just can't wrap my head around skatepark designers that don't bother to put in a small ledge and rail....these features would get used 20x more than any other feature in this park. Terrible oversight but it's what you see all over the place. The best park of the park is the middle bowl. It's actually designed to flow pretty well. The addition of the mini ramp in the shallow end is a bummer as always for anyone who actually likes to draw lines through the whole bowl. Unless it's empty you'll probably have someone doing rock to fakies in the mini so you can forget about carrying speed through the shallow end. The oververt wave is, again, pretty to look at and great for a newpaper covershot but purely a waste of resources. The big capsule bowl is BIG, really big. Again, great for pro demos or kids who are trying to qualify for the 2024 olympics but pretty much unskatable for 95% of people who use this park. It has been empty the whole time I've been here every time. The other tiny bowl in the back is just deadly. I know they were going for more of a backyard pool feel with this one but it just isn't fun. This is where they should've put a mini ramp/bowl for new skaters to learn on. My plea to all skatepark designers is this: do an actual study of who is going to come here from your local community, evalute the full range of skill levels and what types of skaters they are, then build the park for THEM! Don't build it to look good in an a Tribune article! Don't build it as an Olympic training facility! Build it to be enjoyed by the skaters in your community! Simple, right?

Local Eval: Cute little neighborhood SLO County Park right in the middle of "nowhere". I visited a…read morefew weeks ago, added this "new" entry to Yelp without any "credit" [was prompted for an immediate review & pics], and was Tardy with my Hardie review. Hardie Park is rather cute and has both a summer use adult pool, along with a tot pool. The fees are reasonable [one day= $2 a kid/ $5 an adult & season passes are a bargain] and the schedule is on the SLO County Park website...where you can also find the plethora of other SLO County Parks, Pools, Golf Courses, Lakes, Hikes, etc... The two Tennis courts are free, at least according to the people who were playing there. In front of the pool is a interesting sculpture dedicated to two local Indian tribes [see pics]. On the other side of the street, is a large well groomed grassy area, where there are ample playgrounds for tots. The county wisely used what appears to be ground-up tires/rubber for safety. There is a large covered picnic table area with a huge BBQ for groups. In the overhead structure, there are controls for lights & even an AC outlet. One likely needs to reserve and pay for use on the SLO County website. Just behind this is a lazy serene creek, which is pleasant. The banks are deceptively muddy and slippery, which I found out the hard way! I wanted a water/mud sample to test under my home microscope system. As my wife yelled at me not to go down that way, that was the way I went...only to regret it, as one sneaker got wet, as I slipped. It took me a bit to extract myself, as I ran nowhere fast. My wife joked that I looked like a mouse running on one of those wheels in their cage! Somehow, I did not fall. Later I had my wife grab me a water sample. Since the creek looked to be only about 6 inches deep, it would typically only be messy for an adult...unless you twisted an ankle or worse! Apparently, since I did not learn my lesson about creek banks, I repeated this stupidity, the very next day with AG Creek, where I also slipped & grabbed a huge Stinging Nettle branch with both hands. MUCHO-Ouch! In any case, if an old fool like me can mess up with creeks, you can imagine what a mess kids can get into. My New Balance sneakers were soaked with tons of mud, while I had a pair of waterproof boots in the trunk. I can be quite a moron! In any case, this is a rather pleasant "unknown" county park in SLO County, that also happens to be right next to a public library. You then can grab some eats from town, a book to read, and then watch your kid[s] use up some of their boundless energy, swimming. The surrounding town is quiet, has humble accommodations, and marginal eats...but it is a good base of operations for points north, south, or east. Both charming Cambria and Morro Bay/Baywood/Los Osos are just a few miles away, and are filled with lots to explore. Since a number of the SLO County Parks do have summer daily use pools, it is a great feature for kids. In our area, only a few health clubs have decent pools, and only an expensive one has a nice outdoor Olympic sized pool [e.g. Avila Club]. So if you have visiting relatives with kids, who are pestering you to swim, and you know that they can get hypothermia from the Ocean, then these parks may be a god send for some. While the SLO County Pools are spread out, it may give you a great excuse to sight see, as you check out the area. If you need a relatively safe sheltered beach, there are parts of Avila Beach that have little wave action, lots of sand for a stroll, but the water is still icy cold. Avila is the most kid friendly beach. Ironically, even though I made the first "business" addition to Yelp, someone else apparently beat me to the first review [a non-local brief review seemingly targeted to "beat me" to the obviously "coveted" "First-to-review" title]. It was rather annoying, after I took considerably more time to research, explore, & take many pictures of this cute park...but no matter... as a local with tons of time on my hands, one of my new hobbies is to check out the plethora of the many County or local Parks, Attractions, Farmers Markets, in SLO county & beyond. My additional beef with the multitudes of non-local "tourist" brief reviews, is that many either over-glorify, or overly-trash places, that they may visit once, and typically lack a comparative/historical local context. You cannot expect this rural area to compete with urban areas. While it is a relatively "wealthy" area, with pricey housing, most things have to be trucked in, from the ports of Long Beach, or from the SF Bay area. There are no major ports in this area, since the demise of this area's big oil rigs & refineries eons ago. Avila Pier had a railroad that once brought oil out to the port from SLO [Tank Farm] & was a polluting eyesore. The entire town of Avila was dug up to remove many feet of oil soaked sand decades ago!
