Watching people skateboard on a sunny day in Venice is just brilliant. Amazing place for tourists to soak up some of what is unique about LA

Best way to kill an hour people-watching. Plus, you can get a contact high from all the pot in the air!

From the home of the skateboard, it’s fitting that the Venice Beach Skatepark makes an impression. It boasts two bowls, a snake run, street section and endless thrills and spills.

The Venice Beach Skate Park is a iconic landmark to Southern California and covers 16,000 square feet equipped with rails, ramps, steps and a large bowl.

Been coming here for years. Lots of great skaters ripping it up. If you have little kids please keep them at a safe distance skateboards will fly out of the bowls and hit you.

It's fun to watch the people skate and do some pretty crazy stuff. Also, walk along the strand for a bit. Lots of marijuana and other "interesting" behavior.

Come here to catch some gnarly tricks in the bowl. I'll leave the context of bowl open to interpretation...

I love people-watching here but gotta be careful of stray skateboards!

Great place to sit and people watch. Grab some food from the Wee Chippy and enjoy the sunset

Venice Beach's Skate Park is the perfect spot to people watch and observe over 16,000 square feet of rails, ramps and steps.

Get your boogie shoes and put some wheels on them! The skate park is a music blast of fun!

famously filled with sand by public health authorities at the height of covid pandemic, but back to normal now

Super nice, could watch for hours… busy even on Monday…

Weekdays = minor leagues. Weekends = major leagues. If you want to see some kids catch some big air, come on the weekend!

When you get hungry check out the fish tacos at Big Daddy & Sons Pizza Shack across the sidewalk. Best fish tacos on the beach.

Don't lean over the bars on the edge of the park. You might take a skateboard to the face.
