Monterey Skate Park, Lake El Estero

Monterey, CA Print   Leave a comment

Description

Monterey Skate Park is a small, nice skate park located in a serene setting next to Lake El Estero. Ducks quack about on the deep green water and little white-fenced jetties offer a view across the lake. Peaceful and uncrowded, the skate park is a mellow place to spend an hour. Everyone, including parents standing inside the rink, must wear a helmet- this rule is enforced by local police.
Strangely, the skate park borders amazing Dennis the Menace Park, but a fence separates them. To get to the park you must walk through or around Sollecito Ballpark.
