Park de la Cruz is a free, all-skills skatepark with a big bowl, smooth transitions, and plenty of rails/stairs for trick practice. Go in the day for a calmer session with kids, and consider the lights at night if you want to skate later—just be mindful it can get busy and restrooms may not be available.
