Learn to Ride at McInnis Skate Park
Scooter
or skateboard, it doesn’t matter for this event. What is most important is that
we learn to use the park together, as it is intended to be used. Injuries can
happen when we don’t understand the code of ethics and sharing of space in a skate
park. So we will focus on spatial awareness, dropping into bowls with other
users, taking turns, listening to our intuition and developing other skills for
success in a dynamic sporting environment. You will need to bring your own
scooter or skateboard and safety equipment. Rain will cancel this event.
Questions: contact Supervising Ranger Adam Craig at (415) 446-4423 or ACraig@marincounty.org. Meet at the skate park 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 skate park, turn
right, and follow the road to the skate park parking lot. Park entrance is
free.
