Houghton Skatepark
6301 Myrtle Ave.
Long Beach, CA 90805
United States
Year Built: 2004
Long Beach's second and biggest skatepark, home to LBC's only true bowl. Fun clover with three bowls and a fun street section. Bowl is notable for its faded mural and graffiti.
Bixby Park
130 Cherry Ave.
Long Beach, CA 90802
United States
AKA "Cherry" built on an old shuffleboard court with elements that originally came from the now-defunct DIY spot, LB Free.
Cherry is a legendary spot, its beauty is in its simplicity and the epicenter of the modern street skate scene. You will see pros here on a daily basis. And who can blame them for being here so much. So close to the ocean combined with near-perfect year-round weather, a gem of a spot.
Drake Park
951 Maine Ave.
Long Beach, CA 90813
United States
A small park located not too far from Downtown Long Beach. Consists of three prefab elements and a rail built on top of an old tennis/basketball court. Decent amount of open space for flat land tricks.
El Dorado Park Skate Park
2800 Studebaker Road
Long Beach, CA 90815
United States
Year Built: 2000
Long Beach's first skatepark, opened in 2000. A legendary spot that is always crowded. You will find a mix of skaters, bikes and scooters here.
McBride Skate Plaza
1550 Martin Luther King, Jr. Ave
Long Beach, CA 90813
United States
Year Built: 2012
"LBC" Park, getting its name from the iconic LBC letters in the middle of the large bank. This is a modern street plaza, with a good flow directing riders around the park. Rails, ledges, hubbas, gaps, even a bit of transition. One of Long Beach's best, if not THE best park here.
