Learn to Skate at McInnis

We’re hosting another skateboard clinic! Local teachers and rangers will offer tips and techniques for beginners and demonstrate how to attack features in a way that builds confidence and skill. This event is geared towards the novice and those looking to cross over from other board sports, but aren't quite sure how to start. This is a free event. Please bring a board, helmet, pads, and skate shoes. Participants under the age of 16 are required to have a parent or legal guardian sign a permission form, which will be provided at the event. Rain will cancel the event. Questions or to register: Contact Supervising Ranger Adam Craig at (415) 446-4423 or ACraig@marincounty.org. Meet at the skatepark in McInnis Park in San Rafael (310 Smith Ranch Rd). DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 101 in San Rafael, take exit 456 for Smith Ranch Rd east approximately 0.7 mile. Drive over the railroad tracks and immediately turn left to stay on Smith Ranch Rd. (If you go through the park entrance, you have gone too far). Look for the sign for the skatepark, turn right, and follow the road to the skate park parking lot.
