A unique butterfly-themed skate park with stunning murals, best suited for families with skateboarding teens. The playground area has maintenance issues making it less ideal for young children.
Our everyday go to park!! My pup Marley loves her daily walks here. Gorgeous butterfly park with outstanding mural art work. You can definitely feel a sense of peace, serenity and love here. The butterfly hike is adorable! The skate park is very cool although I don’t skate ☺️
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best suited for families with skateboarding teens or tweens who can appreciate the unique butterfly bowl design. The playground area has significant maintenance issues making it unsuitable for young children. Consider this primarily as a skate destination rather than a traditional family park.

“I love skateboarding. This is the best place for practice in El Monte. Great for learning to skate bowls with the butterfly bowl. The park is a bit basic but that's ok.”

“A lovely little park. I'm not a transition skater but I really enjoyed pumping round the clover bowl. It has mostly everything you like to see at a park - low ledge/Manny pad with a step up flatbar and plenty of hubbas, ledges and rails. The park would benefit from a hip I think though. #1000skateparkchallenge #cementurians”

“Small symmetrical park with lots of down features. No gates and there are lights. The butterfly bowl is a cool shape but has too much flat bottom. The curb that you can manual across is the only feature for kids to learn on. Not a fan of A frames, would have been cool if they put a flat bar and a bigger flat ledge instead.”
