Fontana Skate Park - Fontana, California, U.S.A.

Finally a city stepped up to the plate and hit a homerun for a skatepark. Fontana, as unlikely as it may be, accomplished an exceptional skatepark. The best in the Southland (up to date) that is a city owned community based park.

From largest to smallest... There is a vertical bowl at about 9 feet deep that has 2 smaller brothers attached at about 7 and 4 feet deep. Carve freely between them all and blast lines through out these bowl. Then there is a great intermediate sized bowl that flows into a large pyramid ledge contraption which will turn you towards some smaller bowled out banks or back into the deeper bowl.

Adjacent to that skate area is a small beginner bowl. What a novel idea! (duh) have a fun beginner bowl for the smaller kids to learn in so they don't get plowed over by the older guys/girls flying through the park. Even better than that they have another even smaller beginner bowl (not pictured).

At the north end of the park is a really cool street course. Slants, banks, and rails (even a whoopty rail copy from Newberg Oregon) to bust out all the best street tricks on. In the center of the park there are 2 shade awnings because this place will be scorching hot in the summer. You'll also find possibly the best free public fingerboard skatepark ever made. It even has a full pipe!

The layout, flow, perfect transitions, coping, and open riding area make this park a must hit if in So.Cal. It's always way more fun writing up a good park than a bad one and we hope there will be many more good ones.
