Top 50 Skate Parks in Los Angeles County, Perfect for Building Confidence in Kids

With Spring here, we have been re-discovering our outdoor activities and trying new things. My son for years has watched the older kids at the El Dorado Skate park perform tricks and skills. This last month, he decided to give it a try on his scooter.

First things first, SAFETY!

Before I allowed him on the ramps, I made sure to check off the following list.

• Knee pads and elbow pads(we used hockey pads)
• Well fitting helmet
• A scooter or skateboard
• check to make sure the wheels run smooth and straight
• Well lit not overly crowded area with adult supervision

I saw my son go through different stages in the hour he was at the park. From unsure and curious to confidence and building skills. I even saw some of the older kids cheering him on which made him smile and try harder.

My daughter didn't care to go onto the ramps but found fun riding her scooter on the flat paths outside the park. Maybe in a couple years she will give it a try.

I always thought that kids skateboarding/scootering was a great confidence building fun activity. Now that I see my almost 8 year old son having so much fun, I would like to recommend it to other kids and parents.
