Truckee Skatepark — Attraction in Truckee

This is a legit skatepark! It offers street style and mini ramp transition features. Designed and made really good. Concrete is well maintained and metal coping is set at the right depth. There is a roll in, channel, multiple hips, rails, different sized bowls and a square mini bowl. Plenty of lines to create and it has potential to master some consistent rhythms with proper technique. Located right off main highway with plenty of parking. Benches are available for spectators and parents. 7/11 store is within walking distance and a Raleys is minutes away. Historic downtown district of Truckee is also minutes away and offers a variety of shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend...

I am a very beginner rollerskater. The first time I went there I was very much intimidated (the lowest coping drop was still ~5ft). I didn’t think I could do anything there, but still stayed and practiced on the smaller features outside of the bowl, and progressed slowly. By the end of the second session, I was able to drop in at the smaller bowl :) I’ll def go more often and get more practice in.

The park is not crowded, especially in the morning. The surface is in much better condition compared to Bijou park in South Lake Tahoe. They also did a great job keeping the park clean (removing the pine leaves,etc.), which I...

Bowls/transition are on the steep side, and there’s not much for street stuff. Would be cool if the small bowl on the side to be shallower than the rest but it’s just more of the same. Banks around the park are steep and skinny. There’s a fun stair/manny pad/ledge thing but it’s weirdly low and the ramps on it are super skinny, you have to really thread the needle. The deck around the bowls is not level. Surface is a bit on the rough side for a skatepark.

Given the steep banks and the unlevel surface, it’s hard to get enough speed to hit the tall ledges. All in all, I had fun but it’s nothing...
