Riders Thoughts:

The City of Lathrop Skatepark is fun to explore, but that doesn’t take long. The loop aspect of this skatepark gives obvious direction to your run and flows well in either direction. The skatepark provides a variety of street obstacles on one side of the park with a flowy snake bowl on the other side.

The skatepark starts with the lone standing bowl, the largest obstacle in the park. This medium sized bowl is an odd shape with a number of banked turns and smooth transitions in either direction. This bowl is completely surrounded in coping, making it the most advanced obstacle in the park as well.

Throughout the rest of the City of Lathrop Skatepark there are a number of stairs and rails with a good variety of boxes as well.

There is a unique triangle box/rail at this park that can be utilized by street riders to create different lines. This side of the park also features a large rounded ramp that can be used as a banked turn when cruising around the park.
