Pacific Highlands Ranch Pump Track — Local services in San Diego

There definitely are better skateparks in the San Diego area, but this by far is my favorite park. Great low ledges and rails to practice technical skills, a moderately steep set of quarter pipe for transition skating, and a crusty double sided curb, great for board sliding. The crown jewel of the park would have to be the pump track- two snake runs, very fun to practice gaining speed in transitions.
