California Skate Parks

Del Mar Skateboard Ranch, also known as DMSR, was an American skatepark in Del Mar, California, which opened in August of 1978 and was demolished July 1987. The park was built in '78 and quickly became the gathering point for skaters throughout the San Diego County area, including many influential skaters that would go on to be well-known pros. The park featured a bunch of terrain options that included the keyhole pool, kidney “Kona” pool, egg bowl thirteen footer, square pool, halfpipe, big reservoir, baby snake run, giant banked slalom, and the freestyle reservoir. Additional amenities included an arcade, pro shop, mini-golf, and several hi-ball trampoline setups.

Roller Games was a sports entertainment spectacle created in the early 1960s in Los Angeles, California as a rival to the national Roller Derby league. Roller Games provided a mostly televised, increasingly theatrical version of the sport, and its flagship team, the Los Angeles Thunderbirds (T-Birds) endured several boom and bust cycles, including a roller derby attendance record in 1972, a major reorganization in 1975, cable sports coverage in 1986, a TV series called RollerGames in 1989–1990 (and a corresponding video game), and a small number of untelevised exhibition matches from the '80s and into the 2000s. The 'Go T-Birds' fan shirt is from the team's 1978 rebranding that saw them go from red, white, and blue, to green and gold.

Throughout the '70s, competitive skateboarding continued to gain popularity which led to purpose-built skateparks being constructed across America and it should come as no surprise that California played host to the majority of them. Buena Park’s Skatopia was one such example and an upscale one at that. This full service (and fully landscaped) facility was a $500,000 skatepark when it opened in 1977 and without question raised the bar for skateparks and the sport. The facility welcomed countless kids and adults alike who ripped it up on their concrete bowls every day of the week and was the site of numerous championships and competitions over the years.

Located near Santa Monica and Venice Beach, the infamous Marina del Rey Skatepark couldn’t have been in a better location as skateboarding was hitting its fever pitch and pool skating was all the rage. The initial park consisted of three pools, a 10’ half pipe, two intermediate bowls, a beginner bowl, a 230 yard slalom, and a large freestyle area with gentle banks. Unlike most parks at the time, the common areas between runs were finished, so you could literally skate the entire park, not unlike skating around in the 720°arcade game. During it’s relatively short life between 1978 and 1981, Marina del Rey Skatepark played host to countless locals and visitors alike, as well as big name, big money skate and BMX competitions.
