| Review: | The Palm Desert Skateboard Park is split into two sections with 15,000 square feet in the main skating area and 5,000 square feet in the beginners area. The main skatepark includes a snakerun that is 4' and 6' deep that dumps you into a 7' bowl, fun-boxes, pyramids, square and round rails, stairs and various drop-ins. The beginners area also includes a pyramid, box, rails and drop-ins. The concrete is not the fastest we have skated but overall the skatepark is relatively smooth and there are some good flow lines throughout the skatepark.
Bottom Line: Great skatepark for the beginner and potential for good times for the average to advanced skateboarder. The Palm Desert Skatepark is not worth a road trip but if you happen to be visiting Aunt Ida in Palm Springs then check it out for yourself

Skateparks are becoming more common as Skateboarding grows as a sport in Southern California. A Skatepark Directory such as SoCal Skateparks can help you to find the best Skateboard Parks in Southern California. We have put this Skatepark Directory together so that skateboarders in Southern California can find skateboard parks easier. Skateparks are important to the foundation of skateboarding. In order for skateparks to remain vibrant in SoCal we have to do our best to make sure that the skateparks that are built here are going to be skateparks that our children will want to skate 20 years from now. We want this to be your first choice skatepark directory and hope that all of the skateparks listed here will help you to find your way.
