Templeton Skatepark in Templeton, CA

The Templeton Skatepark is another great addition to the list of Central Park Skateparks to check out! This medium sized skatepark has a great diversity of obstacles set inside of a long fenced in area. The slight downhill angle helps to maintain speed while linking obstacles and cruising lines. Longboarding at the Templeton Skatepark is fun because of all of the smooth transitions and roll ins.

These smooth transitions lead all throughout the park and even continue into the bowl. And there are also some ledges and boxes found throughout the park. This skatepark has a little bit of everything for riders of different skill levels. Check out more of the flow and layout below!

Riders Thoughts:

The Templeton Skatepark is a fun little skatepark on California’s Central Coast. For comparison, it’s smaller than the San Luis Obispo Skatepark and about the same size as the Paso Robles Skatepark but a different layout. I think that the Templeton Skatepark feels a little smaller though due to the long, skinny layout.

When you walk in the gate, the shallowest area of the skatepark is to the left and goes a little downhill all the way to the deeper bowl which is all the way to the right side of the park. This skateparks slightly downhill slope is great when riding a longboard in the skatepark because you can use it to link the different areas via the smooth transitions.

The left side of the Templeton Skatepark has two separate bowl areas – one is surrounded in coping and the other has a smooth roll in. Separating these two bowls is a tall box with coping. There is a vert wall on one side of the box and a tall smooth roll in on the other side. The bowl with the smooth roll ins has one area with a break in the smooth
transitions from a gap created by cement boxes. I find that this disrupts the flow of the bowl. And I just so happened to break the kingpin on my trucks here.

The two bowls on the left side of the Templeton Skatepark are separated by raised cement in a variety of ramps, boxes, and rounded humps. These all lead down to an open area with small quarter pipe ramps. This area is set up perfectly for jumping over the raised cement section.

From this open area there is a smooth rounded hump that rolls into the large bowl area. This roll in is pretty cool. If you start at the left side of the skatepark and go downhill you can build up some decent speed and when that speed transitions into the larger bowl riders can get pretty high on the walls.

This larger bowl is an oval shaped bowl about 6 or 7 feet deep and is mostly surrounded in coping

There is a variety of transitions all over the Templeton Skatepark – smooth roll in areas, ramps, ledges, and coping. These come in varying degrees of steepness and lengths. This skatepark is kind of small, but the space is well utilized providing a good variety of features. This is great for people still learning how to ride a skateboard or a longboard because it allows them to experience new things on a small scale before they are going too fast.

Overall, riders of any skill level will find something fun at the Templeton Skatepark. For those who are still learning, this skatepark provides many opportunities to try different transitions of different sizes.
