The city’s five skate parks, including the site at Robb Field on Bacon Street in Ocean Beach, will remain unsupervised indefinitely because of city budget cuts, according to statement from the office of Mayor Jerry Sanders. It costs the city about $282,571 a year to pay staff to supervise the parks in the face of an estimated $53 million budget shortfall. The city has also stopped charging park entry fees, which previously helped cover some of the cost of staff, said Rachel Laing, a spokeswoman for Sanders’ office. But with no supervisors how will the city enforce its own health and safety rules? “We’re going to enforce the rules the same way we’ve always enforced them. People are on their honor and police will do spot checks,” Laing said. Park users should call the nearest recreation center to report any problems, she said. Western Division police Capt. Walt Vasquez said officers will respond to any calls to the area on a case-by-case basis. “It’s more depending on the circumstances and what’s going on down there. Are we receiving calls? That will dictate our response. But at this time it’s a matter of when time permits. Officers will go by the area.” Aside from the facility at Robb Field, other skate parks eliminating supervisor positions include: • Bill and Maxine Wilson Skate Park at 702 S. 30th St.; • Rancho Peñasquitos Skate Park at 10111 Carmel Mountain Road; • Charles L. Lewis III Memorial Skate Park, 6610 Potomac St.; • Carmel Valley Skate Park, which just opened in November. Laing said the city posts the following rules at the skate parks: • All skaters must wear protective gear, including a helmet, shirt, knee/elbow pads. • Spectators are not allowed inside the park. • Contests are not permitted. • Skating equipment must be in good condition and not damage the facility. • Bikes and other sporting equipment are prohibited. • Children younger than 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult. • Food, smoking, alcohol and tobacco are prohibited. • Profanity and abusive language are prohibited. The skate parks are open from about 10 a.m. to dusk.
