Upland,
CA Skatepark |
|
|
|
| Upland was home to
the "original" Pipeline Skatepark (1977-1988), which was one of
the gnarliest skateparks ever built. The current Upland skatepark
pays homage to days of yore with a replica 20' tall, 40' long fullpipe
that empties into a large vert bowl. The design team of Badlands legend
Steve Alba, California
Skateparks and Purkiss
Rose worked together to bring this park to life in 2002. The design
and construction quality is top notch. Some folks have complained
that the park, especially the street area is too small. It may be small,
but the 10,000 sq ft park has a bunch of features packed in, it will
satisfy your skating needs. The street area is complete with the usual...
a 10 and 7 stair set, rails, ledges, banks, fun boxes, pyramids, etc. Small
area, but lots of stuff to skate. The fullpipe is a blast. Have respect,
or you will get served! The depth in the shallow is around 5' deep.
The deep end of the bowl is around 12'-14' deep. Also the run has
several halfpipe sections that are 10' and 14' tall. Open 10am to 10pm everyday,
lights for the nights and unsupervised. Bleachers are available for friends
and family. Drinking fountains and restrooms are nearby. Wear your pads!
Police will do drive-bys and hand out tickets to padless skaters! |

Sign says full pads, yet the guy in the fullpipe isn't wearing any - talk
about mixed messages |
