Wanted to let Concrete Disciples know that the Volcom Skate Park of Costa Mesa is now open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.


Although Purkiss-Rose gets there name as official designer, there was lots of input from the local skateboarders including Jim Gray who have been working hella hard to get a park in Costa Mesa... something like 10 years.

Costa Mesa also has a new Mobile Skate Park

Other than the combi pool at Vans, this park has by far the best bowl in Orange County for old-school vert skating. The peanut bowl rides like a mini ramp, and the big bowl's multiple sections of 6-8-9ft walls allow you to learn tricks on progressively larger transitions. The transitions are not overly steep, but are just right for the size of each wall, and the large wall's 9 ft tranny to vert is big enough to blast on. Add in the big corners and hips and there are lines a-plenty for any trick you care to do.

The street section sees heavy usage with a couple of stair-sets, rails, and a good layout of banks. This part of the park is almost always filled with skaters.

Cops frequently patrol the area and roust skaters without pads/helmets, especially if they are minors. The overall vibe is great, lots of chronic-smoking teens lurking about are off-set by heavy grom/parent action. Overall my favorite park, and it's free.

Skatepark Review

What's Good An excellent mix of street and transition. The smaller peanut bowl is 4-5ft with mellow transitions, a roll-in section, and multiple hips and corners. The large bowl has 6, 8, and 9 foot sections, big corners, hips, and smooth crete. Street section has a euro-gap, 5-stair, several rails, manny pads, banks, etc. Local vibe is good.
What sucks It can get very crowded, especially on weekend afternoons. Sun glare is tough on the big bowl in late afternoon. Local police frequently roust those who are not wearing pads. The actual vert in the big bowl is minimal, making high airs tough.
Do you recommend it? yes
