Pop Up Skatepark
Ramona Skatepark Champions is working with community partners to present an after-school skateboarding program
Pop Up Skatepark
SPRING SEASON BEGINS 04/09/2024 FOR 10-WEEKS
All riders must have a new waiver on file every season before they ride. Spring Session starts in September. Starting date will depend on weather and will be announced on Facebook and Instagram.
We run weekly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:30pm in the Coldwell Banker parking lot. All riders are required wear a helmet. Pads are recommended but optional. Loaner pads and helmets are available if you forget yours. This activity is recommended for kids from age six to adult and targets teens.
Coaches are available on site to give lessons to beginners or help the intermediate and advanced skateboarders or scooter riders land a new trick. If your kid is new to the sport and would like to try it before you commit to the cost of equipment, we do have loaner boards and scooters.
Come see us before you buy equipment. We often have skateboard equipment available to buy at discount to members in our “Skateshop in a Box,” and we have partnerships with SDSF Pro Shop in Escondido for discounts on scooter equipment.

Sponsor a Teen
Pop-up Skatepark is a free service for Ramona teens, but we have expenses. It costs between $6,000 and $10,000 per 10-week session for payroll, equipment maintenance, insurance, and team expenses. The more money we raise, the more teens we we can hire to give them job experience and the more kids can participate in the competitions and the better the equipment we can offer them. None of our board of directors is compensated and all monies raised for the program go to the program.
We value participation over profit. We don’t charge fees to kids or families. This is why we are a 501c3 non-profit charity. The program is sustained by donations and grants.
If you can sponsor a kid or teen, click here to make a tax-deductible donation of any amount to help cover program costs for families in need. You can donate one time or sign up for a small monthly sustaining donation. Businesses can display a banner during pop-up hours at our location for $500 or more donation.
