While there are more than a few die-hard "skateboards only" guys out there, a lot of skaters can get busy on other boards too. Tahoe isn't famous for its surfing, but the snowboarding and wakeboarding cross-over action is off the hook. It's cool to see other types of board riders in parks - especially snowboarders - cause they work them big air moves, baby. The little park in South Lake Tahoe is a good place to see those dudes mix it up.
Yeah, this parks a little on the small side, and it has a limited range of options, but it's got some solid trannie for you. You're looking at flat banks, a fun box, and some bowled corners to grind thru. There are even a couple of hips, etc. - a lot of good stuff, but a little light in the "bad ass" category.
For an example of a more "punk rock" skatepark in the Tahoe area, catch a ride over to North Lake Tahoe, to the Truckee skatepark - that's a cool park. There's also a famous pool in the area that's skateable and available to the public - at the Stawberry Lodge [Got pics?]. If you're ever in between Tahoe and San Francisco, you should probably take a minute and check out Grass Valley as well.
Special thanks out to Tahoe local Kay Bradford for hooking up the photos below... mission accomplished - thanks!
Directions: Take Highway 50 [Lake Tahoe Blvd.] to Al Tahoe Boulevard [it's pronounced "Ay El"], and head west. Al Tahoe Blvd. bends to the south. After the bend, the skatepark is on the left in Bijou Park.
