Twentynine Palms Skatepark | Luckie Skatepark

We always seem to find ourselves back in the Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree area. The weather is great in the winter, the vibes are good and there is always something to do! So while we were staying south for the winter, we were able to spend some time shredding the Twentynine Palms Skatepark and longboarding around Twentynine Palms.

The skatepark is located inside of Luckie Park which is a really nice park with many features including: basketball courts, playground, picnic pavilion, baseball fields, workout equipment and of course the skatepark. Luckie Skatepark in Twentynine Palms is a medium sized skatepark that is much more fun that I expected in such a small desert town.

Riders Thoughts:

Twentynine Palms is a pretty small desert town, so I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Luckie Skatepark. I was expecting a few metal ramps on a tennis court, but what I found was a full concrete skatepark! The cement is smooth throughout the entire park and there are smooth transitions all around.

Upon entering the Twentynine Palms Skatepark, the first section has a bunch of large vert ramps with coping. One side transitions to a pyramid box on the ground with a large cement ramp on the other side. And the other vert ramps transition to a number of boxes and rails before going up a ramp to the main box area. This area of the park has a number of ramps
setting up grinds to ledges, rails, and stairs.

The main box area in the center of the Luckie Skatepark has gradual ramps on all sides with boxes, rails and stairs leading to the top. On the other side of this main box is the only banked turn in the entire park.

This is my favorite feature of the Twentynine Palms Skatepark because it is most like a bowl with a smooth banked U turn allowing for speed and pumping. The other side of the banked turn shares a spine with the skateparks cement halfpipe.

The more open side of the skatepark has a few quarter pipes and ramps scattered around with a mellow pyramid in the middle. The largest cement ramp in the park is positioned to send a rider right into the large banked turn with a good amount of speed which then sends the rider cruising towards the open area.

The Luckie Skatepark in Twentynine Palms is a great skatepark for a traditional skateboard. The quarter pipes and halfpipe are all a great medium size and set up riders to ollie up to ledges, rails, and boxes. The banked turn and gradual ramps on the boxes made this skatepark fun on a longboard but the park has a bunch of quarter pipes that are too steep to use with a longboard. And unfortunately, there is no bowl. The Twentynine Palms Skatepark is still a great facility and provides the skaters in the area with a nice spot to skate, no matter the skill set.
