The skate plaza sits on nearly an acre of land and features nearly 10,000 of skateable terrain consisting of five intersecting pathways that stretch through the park's landscape. The skate plaza was heavily influenced by modern Arizona architecture and features elements such as floating hubba ledges and a bench with flat bar. The decorative paving pattern and color pallet consisting of Baja red, charcoal grey, San Diego buff and natural grey gives the design a unique style with a modern southwest flavor.
