Ripon (Curt Pernice) Skatepark

The Curt Pernice Skate Park in Ripon, California, is a 30,000-square-foot concrete facility located at 1250 Hughes Ln, Ripon, CA 95366. Designed and built by Tim Payne and the crew at Team Pain Skate Parks, the facility is a notable piece of California skatepark history, having won a "Best Skate Park" award from Thrasher and Big Brother magazines in 2002 for its ambitious layout and technical flow. Bowl Architecture: The park's signature feature is a massive, dropped bowl setup that dominates the footprint, offering varying depths and deep, continuous lines. Street & Flow Terrain: The large bowl complex runs outward into a fast-flowing outer section featuring an array of pyramids, banked turns, smooth hips, flats, and rails. Construction Legacy: Team Pain's concrete craftsmanship is evident in the park's smooth transitions and roll-ins, allowing riders to pump through the rounded corners and maintain speed across the park's varied terrain.
