600-698 Park Avenue, El Centro, California 92243, United States of America.
Sidewinder Skatepark, located in El Centro, California, is a 30,000-square-foot skatepark that opened in 2015. It was designed by the SITE Design Group and constructed by California Skateparks, two well-known entities in the skatepark industry. This spacious park features a wide variety of elements designed to cater to skaters of all skill levels, including a large street section and a flow course. Additional amenities include shade structures, picnic tables, bathrooms, and lights, making it a comfortable space for both day and night skating sessions.
The park was developed with strong community involvement, with local skaters playing a crucial role in shaping the final design. The project was part of a broader city initiative aimed at providing recreational spaces for the local youth, using city funding to make the park free and accessible to the public. In 2023, the park was renamed Brett Driscoll Sidewinder Skatepark in honor of a local resident who played a significant role in advocating for its construction.
The park has become a key venue for community events, such as the annual SLAM Festival, which brings together skaters, BMX riders, musicians, and artists for a day of competitions and performances. It continues to be a hub for local skate culture in the Imperial Valley.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
