Chula Vista Heritage Skatepark

Who approved building this pile of garbage? It’s commendable Chula Vista has so many skateparks, but why do all the public/​free ones seem like they were built for something other than skating?

Manage your expectations. It’s great Chula Vista has a few plazas for kids to skate but it’s hard to get the feeling that it has the touch of a skateboarder in the planning process. Nevertheless, this spot can be fun for what it is. Thankfully, each object is relatively small so it’s fitting to the size of the concrete slab that it’s on. My two major complaints are that there is little to no runway for the ledges/​rail/​stairs so you literally have to set your board at the edge of the concrete, get a running start from the grass and hope for the best. The other is that there is no bank on the opposite side of the park so once you complete your trick, you have to jump off your board and walk back. It’s worth checking out if you have some time to kill, but don’t go out of your way for it.
