1 / 2William Nickerson Gardens Skate Park
đ South Los Angeles, CA
A Watts community skate park with genuine local spirit but 'locals only' atmosphere. Best suited for families with area connections who can navigate the social dynamics.
Love my city Watts, California we maybe seen as a bad place but if you know anyone from Watts you know it feels like all Love.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best suited for local families or those with connections to the Watts community who can navigate the social dynamics. The skate park has some design limitations but offers genuine community spirit. Families should be aware of the area's challenges and consider whether they'll feel welcome.

âVery much 'locals only' if you know what I mean. The skatepark is okay. I'd be happy skating the curb and the banks. It's unfortunate that the curb manny pad has another manny pad on top of it. Pointless. The middle feature of the park is also redundant- it should just be a flat ledge. Maybe BMX's would get more use out of it. I'm also not a fan of the colour scheme. Although it does give the general area a much needed pop of colour.â
