La Colonia Park & Skatepark — Attraction in Solana Beach

I wasn’t very impressed with the playground at La Colonia Park, but my son was mesmerized while watching the skate borders do tricks at the skate park.

It’s only open 2 days a month so be sure to do some research if you want a tour.

They also have a smaller section for 1 - to - 2 year olds, which is great for moms and nannies to take their kids to. I love that it doesn't have sand. It has recycled tires as the flooring and a well thought out park design. It has a huge grass area next to the park and a great skatepark nestled next to that.
