Some of the pictures on this website do not depict full compliance of the rules. This website does NOT condone or represent those offenders and welcomes the full extent of the law for infractions. Suffice it to say that most of these "advanced" kids have paid their dues to reach the level of blackbelt skateboarding. Their choice is no different than a fully equipped football player that is injured for life during freak situations/conditions or a motocross biker flying 500 feet thru the air fully equipped and dieing or being mamed for life from a slight miscalculation. Most skaters that know their limits(such as myself) wear safety equipment. As the sport evolves, as in some states have made safety equipment optional, it is a well known fact that sports like skiing and snowboarding present similar dangers without forcing safety equipment. Enforcing safety equipment can prevent serious injury but that is up to the person who has decided skateboarding without equipment is blatant ignorance to their personal safety. More kids are getting hurt outside of skateboard parks than within. It is a fine line who decides and enforces the rules and here in Poway, these are the rules and should be honored. Enforcement is taking place and if you are an unlucky recepient of ticketing, this discussion is a moot point!

PQ Skateboard Park

Was convincing the city to build the park difficult?
The city of PQ had been beating the skate park idea around for close to six years. There was one failed attempt to build a mega complex on Hilltop Park nearby. Some years later, Caltrans found they had no need for a piece of land previously set aside for extra parking. The 23,000sq.ft. dirt pit turned out to be the ideal spot for a park and drew very little negative response After the park was voted into existence, the few people (like four) that own houses up a hill located at the backside of Carmel Mtn. Rd. began to show up and complain about noise and lighting. The city ended up just installing the light conduit and junctions for the fixtures only. When we have more data about the noise then maybe lights will become available. Until then the park will close at dark. ... more
