Best Skateparks in Sacramento

Some of the best skateparks in Sacramento outshone many of the skateparks that we’ve seen on our travels across the country! And there are a lot of skateparks to check out in the Sacramento area! On our first time travelling through the area, we stopped at as many as we could. We noticed that not only are there a lot of options but there is a wide range of facilities – from huge, advanced skateparks to smaller, fun skatepark layouts that are great for learning and improving. The variety of skateparks in Sacramento really cater to the different skill levels and riding styles.

Find out more about some of the best skateparks in Sacramento and some of the others in the area! We didn’t get to visit every skatepark in the area but from what we did see, we’ve put them in order starting with what we consider to be the best skateparks in Sacramento. As someone who surfs the cement by riding a longboard in the skatepark you may notice that I have a slight bias towards vert skateparks.

Best Skateparks in Sacramento Area

There are a lot of skateparks in Sacramento! Below we’ve organized a collection of some of the best skateparks in Sacramento. There are some that are pretty unbelievable.

GRANITE SKATEPARK

The Granite Skatepark was a clear winner for best skatepark in Sacramento. This huge skatepark is the size of 4 or 5 other skateparks put together! Not to mention the incredible layout! Here you’ll find an amazing diversity of skate obstacles – it has everything you could need for a great skate sesh.

Granite Skatepark has areas for riders of all skill levels from beginners to pros. The smooth roll ins, smooth transitions, and tall vert made it especially great for longboarding in a skatepark. But street skaters alike will find plenty of sick features to keep them busy here as well!

RIPON SKATEPARK

Ripon Skatepark is another amazing skatepark in Sacramento area. This skatepark is a very large skatepark with a pretty open layout and tons of vert.

The skatepark in Ripon is clearly designed as a vert style skatepark with smooth transitions, banked turns, and an amazing flow. These features, again, make for a great place for an exceptional opportunity for longboarding in a skatepark. While we were here we got to see some advanced riders taking advantage of the tall vert and smooth transitions!

TANZANITE SKATEPARK

Tanzanite Skatepark made it high on our list of best skateparks in Sacramento. Not only does it have some great vert opportunities, it also is very well balanced with a good variety of street obstacles.

At the Tanzanite Skatepark there are a number of bowls to choose from. And they vary in shape as well as size and depth. You’ll find that these bowls also have a good variety of roll in areas mixed with coping. Some of these roll ins are pretty technical which can be tricky, but who doesn’t like a challenge? I really enjoyed cruising and pumping around the different bowls on my longboard.

ELK GROVE

The Elk Grove Skatepark is a great medium sized skatepark. This park has two great bowls, both with pretty unique shapes. The clover shaped bowl had a roll in and four pockets of varying size and depth. It was definitely the highlight of this skatepark for me!

The Elk Grove Skatepark is also very well suited for street skaters. You’ll find an impressive number of boxes, ledges, and stairs situated near the entrance in the front half of the skatepark. The ramps and ledges are set up great for pop tricks and grinds.

CITY OF LATHROP

The City of Lathrop has a nice little skatepark. This skatepark is not very big, but still a great place to hangout and get in a good skate sesh. You’ll find that there are a good variety of obstacles in this skatepark.

A skilled skateboarder will have a lot of fun at this skatepark because it has great flow and links many different obstacles together. There is also a great bowl with full coping, and a small snake run. The snake run made this park fun for riding a longboard in a skatepark.

WILD ROSE

The Wild Rose Skatepark is a small skatepark with a loop-like layout that creates pretty good flow. This skatepark has a small snake run that is great for learning how to take banked turns and for learning how to ride a longboard in a skatepark.

Wild Rose Skatepark also has a few ramps, boxes, and ledges of small to medium height. This is a great skatepark for someone who is learning the basics and wants to try a few different riding styles.

MANTECA

The Manteca Skatepark is off the beaten path a little, with no parking lot or signs making it a bit tricky to find. So once you take the bike path to reach the skatepark you seem to have your own personal skatepark.

This is a pretty simple skatepark with one main bowl. There are a few banked turns as well as some boxes and ramps. Manteca Skatepark is a bit small but there are less crowds making this a nice spot for getting in a good skate sesh.

McCLATCHY

The McClatchy Skatepark is a small skatepark that flows in a loop. There are a few banked turns and some rounded humps that help riders build some speed as they make their way around the park. Although there are not many advanced features, this is a nice skatepark for mastering different obstacles.

Additionally, the McClatchy Skatepark features some stairs, ramps and boxes for some street skating obstacles. You’ll find that there is also a pretty nice cement half pipe here too.
