Venice Beach Skatepark

Check out the schedule for skate events or contests before you go. I stumbled upon a competition that made my visit way more exciting!

Be mindful of the weather! On my visit, it was sunny, but the heat caught me off guard. Sunscreen and a hat are must-haves, trust me!

Bring your own water and snacks. The local vendors can be pricey, and it's easy to get thirsty running around those ramps!

Plan for some downtime... I suggest soaking in the lively atmosphere; there are plenty of cool shops and street performers around the park, making it a great place to chill
Rolling Thunder Skating Center

If you're planning to skate, my advice is to bring your own gear if you can. Rentals are a bit overpriced and the selection can be hit or miss. I regretted not bringing my own skates.

Plan on arriving around 5 PM on weekends. It gets super busy after that and you might end up waiting for an hour. I waited long enough that I considered going home! Just a heads up.

I think the snack bar prices are a bit steep, so consider grabbing a bite to eat before you arrive. I learned the hard way that a small soda and snack can cost you an arm and a leg!
Denver Skatepark

If you’re planning to skate, bring your own gear. There can be rentals nearby, but it's better to save a few bucks and just bring your own stuff if you can

I suggest getting there around 10 AM before it gets too crowded... I hit it just in time and had the place almost to myself for a while... It was awesome!

Don’t forget sunscreen! Even if it’s a bit cloudy I ended up getting sunburnt just from hanging out. A hat would be a great idea too!
Denver Skate Park
I recommend hitting up the park around 10 AM before it gets super crowded. The morning light is also great for those Insta pics!

If you're new to skating, I'd suggest checking out the smaller ramps first. I made the mistake of going straight for the big stuff and it didn’t end well!

Make sure to bring some snacks and water. The park doesn't have many food options nearby, and trust me, you don't wanna spend extra cash for a soda
Skatepark of Tampa
If you’re looking to meet other skaters, hang around the mini-ramp area later in the afternoon. That’s when everyone seems to show up, and it’s a great vibe.

Don’t forget to charge your phone before you go! There are some sick spots for photos and you'll want to capture the action. I missed some awesome shots because my battery died!
Woodward Camp

My advice is to pack lunch or snacks. The food options on site can be a bit pricey, and there are good spots to chill and eat outside the park.

I think you should bring your own gear if you can. Rentals are available, but they can run out quickly. It felt great to use my own board and gear!

I recommend booking your sessions in advance to avoid disappointment. They can fill up super fast, especially on weekends. I ended up waiting for ages!
The Skatepark of Tampa

I think it's smart to go on a weekday if you can. The weekend gets super busy and finding a spot to skate or chill can be tough when everyone shows up.

My advice is to bring a few snacks and water if you're planning to stay a while. The food options nearby can get pricey, and you don't wanna interrupt your skate flow searching for a bite.

I recommend checking out the schedule for events or competitions before you go. Sometimes they're packed and you might miss some cool action if you go on a quiet day
Rhodes Skatepark

If you're planning to get food nearby try to hit up local joints instead of chains. I found a great taco spot just a few blocks away that was way better than fast food.

My tip is to watch for local events or competitions. I stumbled upon one when I visited and it really added to the vibe of the place, plus I met some cool locals.

I think it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the layout of the park before you go. Some areas can be a bit tricky, and I got lost trying to find the bowl section.
Spring Skatepark

Bring plenty of water and snacks. The park can get hot, and there aren't many places nearby to grab a quick bite

I totally recommend renting a board if you’re not bringing your own. Super affordable and it saved me from lugging mine around.

Don’t forget to wear a helmet! I saw a few people get some gnarly falls, and it’s just a good idea to stay safe while having fun.

Check out their events calendar before you go. I missed a fun competition that would have been awesome to see, so don't make that mistake!
Kona Skate Park

The park can get crowded, especially during weekends. If you can, visit on a weekday morning, like around 10 AM, for a more relaxed vibe and more space to skate

If you’re planning to rent gear, do it in advance online if possible. It saved me time waiting in line. Their rental prices are pretty decent too!

Don’t miss the mini-ramp area; it's perfect for beginners and way less intimidating than the bigger bowls. I stuck around there and had a blast!
