'Significant Vandalism' Prompts Lake Elsinore To Close McVicker Canyon Skate Park

LAKE ELSINORE, CA — This week, McVicker Canyon Skate Park suffered significant vandalism. Unfortunately, this skate park has repeatedly fallen victim to regular vandalism and misuse. As a result, most of the equipment is no longer in good working condition and safe for use.

As a result of these safety concerns, the City had to close this skate park indefinitely as we move forward on plans to build a new, inground concrete skate park similar to the skate park at Serenity Park.

The City apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause for our residents and will move as swiftly as we can to deliver a new skate park that is more sustainable and fun.

In the meantime, the City urges our community to visit our other skate park at Serenity Park and stay tuned for the opening of our new skate park at Summerly Community Park slated to open by the end of this year.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Johnathan Skinner at (951) 674-3124 ext. 265 or via email at recreation@lake-elsinore.org.
