The City of Santa Clarita constructed a park for skaters to combat the thousands of dollars in damage annually that skateboards cause to public and private property.
Laws associated with skateboarding are trespassing and vandalism.
This means that the rider must be 16 years of age, must wear an approved helmet, and they may only be driven on the right side of the roadway on streets with speed limits no more than 25 mph. They may NOT be driven on sidewalks or on any other street.
