Lakewood Skate Park

The Lakewood Center Skateboard World, operational from 1978 to early 1982, was a pioneering skatepark located in Lakewood, California, featuring diverse terrain such as half-pipes, twin keyhole pools, and a unique snake run. Initially designed by Joel Vest with the help of Wally Hollyday, the park became a hub for skateboard enthusiasts before its transformation into a roller hockey rink.

Under the ownership of Joel Vest and Glenn Smith, the skatepark gained recognition, hosting notable events like the First and Second Annual Lakewood World Pro Halfpipe Contests. The facility also produced a competitive skatepark team that participated in the Association of Skatepark Owners and later the California Amateur Skateboard League.
