Venice Skate Park

this is such a mesmerizing spot! so fun to watch the little kiddies on their skateboards.

Best skate park ever. Coming from New Mexico the skate parks are pretty shitty but this one is smooth

I come here in the afternoons to watch the talent. I wouldn’t dare get in, as it’s mostly for the dedicated skaters who know what they’re doing. The regulars can be pretty harsh on novice tourists, but I’ve never seen any fights break out. It’s community run, and very well maintained.
Come early morning and you might catch a pro photo shoot. Come late afternoon and cheer with the crowd, or bring your board and test your mettle.

Even if you don’t ride a skateboard, you’ll love being a spectator. You’ll see some amazing skaters doing their best right in front of you. I’ve found that if your hanging out in Venice Beach you just have to go watch the skaters!

It’s really fun to be able to sit and watch these guys, and girls skate. If you’re a fan of skateboarding, it’s a really cool setting with the ocean in view. Southern California at it’s finest.

This is an excellent skate park. I do not ride skateboards any longer but I love to watch these skateboarders do their thing. The shoot a lot of commercials and other things here. I usually get here about 9AM on weekdays when I biking around the area. There are all different levels of people using this skate park. What an excellent venue for the area!

I don’t skate but every time I ride to the beach, I park my bike here and watch the skaters flying around– its great! There are always a lot of people here skating and people watching from outside the rails. On a good day you will see some amazing skating and flying through the air– I just sit back amazed! Since I don’t skate– just watch I can only say that the park looks nice and has more stuff to skate on than any other skate park I have seen. The back drop to the skate park is the ocean… does it get better or more California than that?
Next to the skate park is a graffiti wall that has legal graffiti and sometimes you can see something cool. Also next to skate park is the «dance hall» section. there are always people out there dancing on skates to loud music and having a great time. It is hilarious and cool at the same time and every-​time I see it I laugh and smile. It can seem crowded but you can always find a spot to watch and have fun!

Very cool iconic skate park, loved watching all the skaters. No graffiti on any of it. Looks well maintained! :)

Watching these guys and girls is really hypnotizing. I could watch all day long. A lot of really talented skaters, and a huge crowd to offer encouragement.

Nice park. Crowded, but everyone is flowing and aware. Great for all levels of riders. It has something for everyone; rails, ledges, stairs, pool, you name it.

This is a cool skate park! I don’t skateboard, so I can’t rate it from that standpoint, but it was fun to watch the skaters do their tricks here! Perfect venue right on the beach– a little on the small side, but good in a sense because it doesn’t overwhelm the whole beach. Check it out if you happen to be wandering around Venice!

Good place run by great people.
Only go here if you can handle the truth,
don’t litter and know how to respect.

Awesome place! Ramps and curves for every level, from beginner to advanced– and right by the shore. Simply lovely.

I am not a skater or anything like that. I mean I used to have this one pair of roller blades back when I was like ~14 but never tried any stunts. I can honestly say I am a fan of this skate park.
I mean, what more can you ask for? Amazing view of the pacific ocean, pretty talented kids and older crowd that show their tricks. I love standing around watching these amazing kids risk their lives at the skate park.
I have even seen a little 6yr old skate like a pro, seriously that kid gathered such a crowd. His dad was there watching over him.
Def a must when you visit Venice.

I ride a bike so I’m not really qualified to say this, but this is pretty much an amazing skate park to just chill and watch really good skaters rock out. I’ve seen some guy with no more than 2 wheels on a plate get serious on these curves. I love skate parks, and this is the best. I can just imagine putting on some music and zenning out while swooping through the pool, the mounds, and the halfpipe.

*** Liv’n vicariously thru Mini-​me again. ***
My boy and his bff wanted to skateboard
last Sun afternoon. They really think they
are great at it, so I decided to bring them
here so they can put their lil egos in check.
Some of the boarders here are amazing!!!
This is the kinda park that I dreamed of as
a kid myself: paved mounds, sunken pool,
metal railings, plus an audience to watch.
Years ago I woulda skated here daily. (lol)
Now it is time for Mini-​me to take the torch.
Supervise your kid b/​c there are adults that
skate too and in event of injury, you are near.
*** Watch out Hawk, Mini-​me is in training! ***

I cannot believe that no one has never reviewed this park. I frequent this place often. I go super early so the youth does not disturb me. I have been to a ton of parks in my day, but this one hands down is the best. Nothing like some coffee and a 30 minute ride before work. It’s nice to see that they are re-​vamping this area.
Have fun.
