Lake Elsinore Breaks Ground on New Skate Park

Lake Elsinore city officials broke ground this week on a new skate park.

On Monday, construction was officially kicked off for the city’s second such park, which is set to open sometime this summer.

“The new Serenity Skatepark features will include bump to bump, a-frame, hubbas, hips and bowled corners, a step-up, banks and quarter pipes,” said city spokeswoman Nicole Dailey. “It will also include a multi-level peanut bowl with shallow and deep ends, connected by a waterfall. The park is designed to ensure that all the riders in the community will have a fun and challenging home for many years to come.”

Dailey said that the park’s design tries to replicate the elements found in an urban cityscape-- but in a safer environment.

“As many of the city youth waiting patiently for the new facility to open are street skaters, the park is intended to give them a safe new place to perform their tricks,” Dailey said.
