| | Description: The keyhole is about 8.5' deep and is perfect. The only thing missing is pool coping and tile. I really liked skating this bowl. It really reminded me of skating a smaller version of the keyhole that was at the old Big O Skatepark. | |

| Review: |
The Harada Skateboard park features a winding wide open snake run that runs into 2 half-pipe style bowls that are separated by a huge spine. The skatepark also has a fun 8' keyhole, 5' sqare bowl, and a small little kidney. There are ledges, hubbas, rails, stairs, and other street elements throughout the skatepark. The concrete is relatively smooth/kinkless and there is plenty of terrain to keep you amused for awhile.
Bottom Line: The Harada Skatepark is a fun free skatepark that is worth checking out if you are in the area. Nothing too gnarly at the skatepark with the spine being the most challenging terrain. Things could have been much better if the design would have had more input by some experienced skateboarders and skatepark designers.
Additional Review : By Local Brendan
TheHarada Skate Park is a fun little skate park to stop by and check out if you are in the area. It by no means is a bowl riders dream but offers enough of a thrill with its vintage 8.5 foot deep steel coping Big O’ style keyhole and snake run to make it worth your time. The snake run is very smooth with well set steel coping and opens into your choice of two bowls separated by a large 10 foot spine that clearly offers the most challenging aspect of the park. This layout offers a lot of different lines and room for progression while keeping you entertained for a couple hours. The small kidney is a repaired bowl in service. Its pool coping was destroyed and has been replaced with steel coping making it a little hard to skate but challenging none the less. The park also offers a five foot square bowl, but is a poor design and has to be ridden more like a half pipe then a bowl. For the street skaters there is the usual stairs, rails, ledges and hubbas among other things.
All in all Harada is a fun little park that falls into the category of “What a great skate park it could have been if the city was steered in the right direction.” Harada offers both bathroom and park facilities right outside the gates which opens the opportunity for a family outing.

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.
