Sergeant Derby Park

"First time coming to this park. I’ve been here all day. My girlfriend and I had a picnic and skated the legendary skatepark. We heard that the skatepark was the first one ever made in the world. We have had so much fun here."

"Historical landmark! It looks like there are plans for evergreen skatepark builders to do another upgrade to the park. Which is a shame because they design the worst parks."

"Built in 1976, Derby skatepark in Santa Cruz is one of the oldest skateparks in the world. It was resurfaced around 10 years ago and locals feared the new concrete might distort the original transitions and lines. I guess preserving it for another 50 years is better than have it crumble away. The park itself is so fun- obviously there's no ledges or rails or stairs here, you come here to bomb it down the snakerun and pretend you're in the Bones Brigade. A piece of skateboarding folklore and a definite bucket list park for any skatepark enthusiast. #1000skateparkchallenge #cementurians"

"I love the history of this park but it’s tricky to skate. Small upper bowl with various transitions leads to drainage ditch transitions that snake down to the big bowl. Middle section is unforgiving. Old fashioned sidewalk surfing in the very back corner of the park."
