Carmel Valley Skatepark

If you happen to live in San Diego, Ca, you are in luck. The long awaited Carmel Valley Skatepark is finally done and constructed. The grand opening will be held Saturday November 22nd at 12:00 pm. There will be a professional skateboarding demo for two hours and from 2:00 to 4:00 they will have their first ever open session to the public.

The entire skatepark looks absolutely amazing and there are a lot of street influenced spots within it. Such as the granite marble like ledges which look buttery as heck. There is also a bricked like bank with what looks like a euro gap built in it. The rail going down the stair set is decent sized and overall the entire street section is pretty awesome. On top of that there is a massive bowl in the corner.

There will be some heavy sessions going down at this skatepark. I have yet to see a marble ledge at a skatepark. Ever! So for me, that alone would sell me into making a trip up to skate it. It actually almost looks like a mini replica of the Downtown San Diego Marble ledge. There is also a little shack built aside from the skatepark. Perhaps it is a snack bar? Well that would be cool but more than likely its some sort of rent a helmet building.

Not sure of all the rules set for the park yet. But you can check out the sweet website made by some local skateboarders there keeping you up to date on everything going on!
