Carson Warner Memorial Skate Park

Good smooth concrete, good flow, good transitions. Morning Barny sessions. Graet beginer park. Kids come up fast here. Pg rated crowd compared to Santa Rosa. No graffiti so its got a definite vanilla flavor. Lots of concerned citizens and overzeleous cops. Fenced in so escape from the man is difficult. Could be a 4.5 park if everything was bigger.

OBBA! One of the Best of the Bay Area! Designed by skater pros and built to memorialize 14 year old Carson Warner– who was an active youth who died young in an off-​road 4 wheeler accident, but lived his life fully, a falconer, surfer and nature lover, the park is pristine and on each corner is a bench shaped like a skateboard.
The park requires helmet and pads, has a bathroom, water fountains and allows bladers and scooters and has experts to beginners. There’s no snacks but the coner store/​deli is jsut a block away, just past the Best Western Hotel on Dry Creek. There’s a great big oak tree that shades an area where you can get yer gear on, sit and watch or hang out with friends.
It’s really an example, no A MODEL of how city government and locals can come together and support space for our youth. There’s no graffiti and zero tolerance for drugs or violence and signs that say «This is Your Park, Take Care of it» and the kidz and elders do = every time I go there, it makes me smile! I’ve seen real young kidz and veteran/​experts ride here all toegther no prob’! This park just has a great energy, great feel! This is such a great little park hidden off the beaten path, with nice grass and really nice smooth concrete bowls, (so no bikes here).the layout is not huge… but just flows… so sweet, even if you don’t skate take your lunch and hang out and watch the talent do their thing, SK8 for LIFE!
