Know Before You Go: According to the Stockton Skatepark website, the skatepark is open 24 hours. But there are no lights… Also, the park can feel a little sketchy, bathrooms were all gated up when we visited.

Riders Thoughts:

The Stockton Skatepark is a unique skatepark because there are a number of features that I have never seen at any other skateparks. The designers of this skatepark were sure to fit in as many obstacles as they could. When you first enter the skatepark you come to a unique vert section with rounded pockets and cement edges.

This part of the Stockton Skatepark was fun for me to skate with a longboard, but some of the pockets are just too tight for a longboard. The tallest pocket on this vert section has a pretty unique shaped wall that felt like it was made for cement surfing, this wall provided some great flow to the park.

The middle of the Stockton Skatepark features a pretty unique vert/bowl section that is open in the middle on either end so riders can enter from the ground level. This bowl is the tallest of the vert features at this skatepark, but the odd shape of the bowl doesn’t help the flow of the skatepark much.

Even though the vert section and the center bowl are not ideal, the smooth transitions and banked turns make up the best areas for longboarding in this skatepark.

Scattered around the entire skatepark riders will find a number of odd shaped boxes and ramps. These different ramps provide riders with a number of challenges through out their runs. The steep angles and walls in this park make the park seem very fast and gives riders many opportunities to air out over ramps.

Street riders should enjoy this skatepark because there are countless street obstacles and potential for some great combinations. Riders will find a number of rails around the Stockton Skatepark, some rails are short, some are tall, some are rounded and some are flat metal.

Along with a bunch of rails, riders will also notice that there are various stair sets scattered around the park. The stair sets here vary in size and shape from 3 tall steps to 6+ shorter steeper steps.

Overall the Stockton Skatepark is a jam packed skatepark with tons of street obstacles. Vert riders may find the skatepark a bit cramped, and beginners may find the obstacles too steep and challenging. But advanced riders should have a great time skating at the Stockton Skatepark
