Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA Park in Encinitas, CA 92024

This state-of-the-art 32,000-square-foot park features a vertical ramp, a huge street course, bowls, mini ramps, and a beginner's course. It's very popular and can become crowded. Although there's a beginners' area, intermediate skaters will need to stay clear of the neo-experts that hang out here. Protective gear (pads and helmet) is required and is available for loan on a first-come, first served basis.
