Lara Skatepark has a great space for the street skaters to stretch their legs next to the bowl. The street section comprises of several boxes, banks, quarters and rails. There is also a heap of smooth concrete for you to do whatever you’d like. At one end of the skatepark, there is a mellow 3 ft quarter with seamless transitions and a bank at the other end that makes it easy to maintain speed through the park.
