If you’re ever keeping an eye on new skateparks popping up in Southern California, you’ve probably heard some talk about the current build taking place in San Juan Capistrano.
Designed by Grindline and being built by CA Skateparks, this park is shaping up to be something special. But are you surprised? We're talking about some of the best skatepark builders in the game here! Take a look:
San Juan Capistrano might be a cozy little coastal town, but this skatepark is bound to attract skateboarders from all over southern California and beyond. It’s not going to be the biggest park out there by any means, but by the look of these progress shots, it’s got variety.
From beginners to seasoned transition skaters, hometown heroes and every type of skateboarder in between, the fact that CA and Grindline bringing their respected craftsmanship to the build means this place is going to have a little something for everyone. Simple as that.
For those of us close by—yeah, I'm less than an hour south and will definitely be skating this place when it's ready!—having another fresh new skatepark in the area means we'll have plenty of excuses for weekend missions. But for the actual locals, yeah, this is a game-changer. It’s been a long time coming, and you can bet the anticipation is real.
While there's no official open date yet, these pictures lead me to believe it'll be ready sometime this year. Follow Grindline and CA on Instagram for more updates and in the meantime, peep these photos and let your imagination run wild. Shoutout to all the builders for keeping the dream alive! So far, so good.
