Skaters in the Lincoln Park community now have a designated place to carve, fakie, and frontslide. Thanks to the Paul Rodriguez Skate Foundation, the LA84 Foundation and Nike SB, a new skate spot designed by skateboarding legend Lance Mountain and California Skateparks now sits on the 3500 block of Valley Boulevard in Los Angeles.
As skateboarding continues to evolve and move forward as a sport, the Lincoln Park Skate Spot provides local skaters with a safe and innovative place to skate. “I’m jealous of the kids today,” said Paul Rodriguez, Mexican-American professional skateboarder. “I could’ve used a place like this growing up!”
The goal of the new spot is to offer features that engage the many diverse styles of skateboarding and to focus on movement and not just tricks. The skate spot is built with a slight angle, 7 degrees in some places, and combines street elements with a traditional snake run to create a distinctive skate experience.“I’m really happy that the Lincoln Heights community will have a quality and easily accessible skate spot,” states Rodriguez. “Los Angeles needs more skate friendly spots!”
