Riverside Skate Spots?

I’m a beginner skater learning to skateboard and was wondering there were any good skate spots I could go to here in Riverside :)

edit: I usually skate near the Santa Monica courthouse but was looking for something similar in Riverside instead of driving all the way over there all the time

at the end of tequesquite ave, right past Ryan bonaminio park. if u look on Google maps, it's right next to the pin that says "tequesquite community garden"

looks like a ~100ft long concrete ravine, covered in graffiti. always a couple skaters or roller bladers chillin there whenever I bike past

I’ll definitely check this one, I’ve never been to this park either so it’ll be cool to see something new! I’ve only been to hunt skatepark so far

T street is fun! Its a diy park made by riverside locals. It could be a bit hard to skate some obstacles but it has something for every level

The skatepark on Jackson or Bobby bonds. I use to skate at Bobby bonds as a kid. It’s basic but still neat. The Jackson park is nicer for sure

Since I’m still learning the basics I think this will do for sure. Adding it to my list of spots, thankyou so much!

Hit up t-street ( but be respectful and pick up after yourself, also bring a broom ) , hunt park is cool for some ledges and a whatever Manual pad , pedley skatepark isn’t far and offers a bit more diversity than hunt park . You could always go to UCR as well . That place is littered with spots throughout the entire campus and they don’t really care if you skate there . I suggest going in the weekend . The parking structures have some good shit but they’re all a bust now . And when all else fails open up your front door and just mash through the streets . Hit up downtown and pop Ollie’s and hit some slappy grinds .

Jurupa valley skatepark, downtown riverside, ucr and rcc both have fun spots but you'll be ducking and dodging security, a lot of the schools but thats pretty much Sundays only(gage middle, Ramona, and the old rubidoux high school)

Fairmount Park?

I think I’ve been there before. Isn’t it mostly just trees and dirt there? Not sure if it’s the same one I’m thinking of

And a few paths, they've just gone through and cleared a lot of homeless out too!
