There are 3 parks close to his home, and last 2 times he chose this park over the other two. There are swings, slides, and playground equipment. There are benches, a covered area with picnic tables, and bathrooms. For skaters there is a very nice skateboard park. There is a parking lot, a horseshoe pit (you need to bring your own horse shoes), and area to play basketball.

This is a fairly new state park. It is a small section of coastline in the town of Marina, just a…read morecouple of small towns north of Monterey. It used to be owned by Fort Ord which was a US Army base from World War 2 to about 1994. They used this coastline which was mostly sand dunes to train soldiers mostly in rifle and artillery fare. There are a few remnants of structures from the past but most are gone. There are plaques now to tell you what used to be where. I found it to be a good educational read. Some of the trails are going under renovation so I had to improvise my hike here. The trails seem like they come close to the highway and a few entry points going to the beach. The beach I went to was very empty due to the rough coast. It is usually pretty windy, and the water very cold, rough and with rip tides. Not really a beach to lay a blanket and/or play in the water. It was very peaceful tho in that strong nature sense. Parking is free, low crowd density, good for shorter non-strenuous hikes, I think I can find a purpose for this place.

Name That Dune…read more Formerly part of the Fort Ord Army post, this 1k-acre oceanfront state park consists of four miles of beach lined with the eponymous sand dunes. It is also one of California's newest state parks, as it has only been officially open since 2009. The Good: * Private parking lot * Free to visit! * Dogs allowed on recreation trail but not the beach or spur trails that lead to the beach. * Great beaches with amazing views * Great place to ride your bike as there's a little over 4 miles of paved trails The Meh: * Port-o-potties in the parking lot * Local Outdoor Enthusiasts™ hanging out in the parking lot. The Ugly: * Part of the paved trail was closed during our visit (April 11th, '26) Conclusion: Great state beach with not many amenities.

The Salinas skatepark has given me a sense of purpose in my life ever since I went there in sixth…read moregrade. Cool concrete ramps and mellow ledges were perfect for me to practice on. The issue isn't with the design necessarily, but rather with the location. It's located in the middle of a ravine that leads to the creek out of view from passing cars. Fights happen there a lot and people tend to use it as drinking and smoking spot. Just recently, someone had cut out the light fixtures that illuminate it at night. Having light down there during a late night session was perfect but now I wouldn't go there at that time anymore. Overall, it has a place in my heart but I think that there needs to be more community involvement for it to be a safe place to skate.
