Greer Skateboard Park

I always have a great time at this skatepark. Sure it does not have a lot of variety and is pretty small, but it is great in it’s own way. Basically, it’s just one massive bowl! No coping, no lips. Just one humongous roll in bowl! Great for newb getting the hang off dropping in and skating bowls.
Definitely recommend it to all levels of skateboarders. The graffiti that covers the entire skating area can throw you off a bit. I see this as a positive sometimes. It’s important to feel the flow and park beneath your feet instead of always relying on what you see all the time.

The skate park itself is closer to Colorado Avenue, but there is a path from the parking lot.
It’s a small park, and it’s better for skateboards and bikes. My buddy riding a scooter didn’t enjoy it because it wasn’t deep enough to do vert. There seems to be excellent flow along the walls, though. The graffiti makes it slick, though.

Nice small skate park. Several bulls with the volcano in the middle. Not for experts, but good for kids who are learning to skate. Park has lots of grass and green space for soccer or t. Right next to the 101 freeway, so there is a lot of freeway noise. Lots of street parking. Several picnic tables also. Virtually no shade. Several drinking fountains. Clean large bathrooms by the little kids play area.

Great park. I ride with the kids. lol.

mostly kids (average age: 12; range 6 – 18) at this place, at least all the times I’ve been there with mine (7, 10 & 12). Sooo much graffiti adds to the slipperiness. Not a huge place but big enough for 2 or 3 separate groups to keep to their own area for a while when it gets crowded. And most visitors here are courteous enough to take turns nicely. Skateboards are most common here but many ride bikes or scooters (razors). Caution: very slippery.

This park is amazing for softer wheel setups! The rough graphed up no copping cement park is still damn rad! Nice little flowwy lines and no one there! perhaps I should give this one star to keep people away, since I live 5ft away from Sunnyvale SP, it is rare i visit greer but picnic with a crew there is a good idea!

Greer Dog Park
Arf n woof n arf n woof n arf!
At Greer park there is a small dog run tucked away in the park over by the skateboard area. Every time I taken Mamba here the run is empty, which is fine by us since Mamba’s main thing is to «niff» around.
Gotta tell ya a funny story. One day I took Mamba to Greer park. We walked over to the enclosed skate park area where I unleashed the beauty so she could «niff» around.
Before I knew it my precious pit was sliding down a side wall of the skate park hangin 10 on all 8 like a big dawg.
When this first happened I thought it was funny but then it wasn’t funny anymore when I saw she couldn’t get out of the skate board pit.
OMG! She tried several times to climb out and she kept sliding back down. I went down in to the pit and tried to help her climb out but «wump» there she went sliding back down.
I looked around and thought, «oh sh– -, I might not be able to get out of here mah damn self.» Dang those skateboard park pits are deep! No joke. I looked around and thought, «what did I get us in to?»
I knew if I got out of here I couldn’t try to pull her out by her leash and collar cuz I would either injure her neck or fall in head first if she yanked me back down. I looked around and was glad no one knew what was happening.
I formulated a plan. Get her out of there first and then get my own self out. I found the most shallow part of the pit, which was still pretty deep. I picked up the 50 lb. poopie lil pup and I climb up as far as I could with her in my arms and I kind of tossed her up and over the side once I got close enough to the the top edge of the pit.
Finally the lil baby was out. Man, I couldn’t believe how my shoes held us up. Awesome grip and traction as I white toe knuckled Mamba outta there on my tip toes. Of course once Mamba was up and out of there I fell on my baguette and slide down just like she had. Of course this scared me because I thought OMG I’m not going to be able to get out of here on my own.
Wow this little feat took an enormous amount of strength, but I had to call upon natural superhuman strength, my lil baby was in a dilemma.
Now me! I took a deep breath, said a little prayer, trusted my trail running shoes had enough traction to grip me and hold me up and get me outta that hole.
I backed up as far as I could up the opposite wall and I made a run for it. When I got close enough to the top edge i jumped and amazed myself that I landed on both feet. Wobbly but Wow, I made it.
Hey if you go here with your dog don’t lettem loose in the skate park unless you plan on hangin 10 and plan on runnin with the big dawgs yo damn self.
Moral to the story: make sure you always have a good pair of running shoes with you cuz you never know when your gonna need to have tow truck kinda of traction to pull yourself out of a skateboard park pit with a pit.
Mamba is a 7 year old beautiful, shiny, deep chocolate brown pitbull.
Oh yeah, there is some really cool graffiti in the skate park.
BTY: I was wearing purple and grey Addias trail running shoes during this strange, funny, yet scary adventure.

whether or not there is a Unilocal entry for john lucas greer park as a whole; we need to review the skateboard park separately.
i skated at greer for the first time this morning. i’m a sunnyvale skate park regular. the sunnyvale skate park is supposed to be closed for cleaning every tuesday morning from 700 to 900a. however, it usually isn’t. well, this morning, it was. i hopped back in my car and cruised up the 101 into enemy stanfurd territory. the traffic was awful. i had tried to find greer before and got lost in this neighbourhood full of nice, expensive homes of rich neo-​yuppies and ex-​hippies. however, this time i thankfully spotted the sign telling me to turn left for greer park even though it was well hidden behind a leafy tree branch. maybe the locals want to keep the path hidden.
anyway, when i got to greer, i was happy to find it open. it was about 830a, and the gate was open. i knew i would find a graffiti-​covered bowl park. i guess i knew there would be no coping but maybe hoped i was wrong. well, it has no coping. i knew i’d find the volcano in the middle. basically, it has two parts: the large bowl area with the volcano connected to the small, circular bowl. i was a little suprised to find the concrete so rough and didn’t like how the area by the grass was muddy. i felt like there wasn’t much i could do here since i’m using to skating parks with coping and some street features. i guess this is the real deal, an authentic, historic 1970s skateboard park. it just have lots of flowing curves and lots of round turns. well, after a while, i decided to try to have fun, and it was fun… not as much fun as sunnyvale skate park or lake cunnigham regional skate park; but hey… any morning skateboard session is better than none, right? some of the graffiti is cute too. i know if i were a really good skateboarder, i’d have more fun there. greer park; it’s not you, it’s me.
i’m guessing if you’re a good enough skateboarder to rip up greer, you probably wouldn’t be wasting your time on your computer on Unilocal right now.
