Cummings Family Skate & Bike Park

Cool park but you cant even skate it! Open it up like how every other skate park works! Can't believe nothing has changed in the many years people have complained about its management and terrible hours. The fact that you cant come in the mornings especially during hot summer days makes no sense. Its the only park in the area so there is no other options other than public spaces. The thing is business owners and the city don't want you skating in public places, THATS WHY THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A USABLE SKATEPARK.

Cummings Family Skate & Bike Park is part of the Folsom Parks and Recreation Department. It is located in the City of Folsom California. The park entrance can easily be missed from the main road ! I know, because I drove right passed it myself. But once you do find the park you will discover all the amazing features this park has to offer!During my visit here, the small dog park was temporarily closed for routine maintenance . Fido Field 2 was open for business though. This park has 2 dog parks. One for smaller dog as well as one for larger dogs. The dog parks have plenty of open space for your dogs to run and offers a shaded area for the owners to cool-off during those hot summer days.Bike enthusiast can practice their jumping on the dirt mounds and on the pump track. For those of you that are into skate boarding, roller blading, roller skates, Cummings Park also has a concrete skate park ! The main attraction here at the park are the skate park, bike park, and Fido dog park. Some of the other amenities that this park has to offer are : a small tot-lot, a full court basketball court, covered picnic area with BBQ, restroom, and a small confession shack( hours vary).Park facilities including ( skate park, bike park, picnic area, pavilion ,can be rented out for any occasion . Contact Folsom Parks & Recreation Department of interested. Overall impression: "Excellent "Family Park & dog park!

Dont take your bikes into the bike park, my son and I were left with 4 flat tires and had to call my wife to pick us up. Each tire had at least 5 billy goat thorns each. Horrible

This place is a joke. I drove 45 minutes away for my son to skate at this park just to be told that he can't skate cause he has to wear a helmet and knee pads and elbow pads. For one, no other park makes you wear a helmet and pads. It also seems like a waste of money having someone sit there to yell at kids who just want to have fun instead of using it to keep the skate park clean. I can understand the helmet but you also have to put the info on the website so we can see the information first before I drive that far. No wonder why the park was empty cause this park is a joke and ran by morons who doesn't seem like they have any kids.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS I took my two sons here on saturday evening and we had driven from fair oaks to go to the bike park, the park looked nice and all but after talking to the gentleman at the desk he told me the dirt was simply "too wet" me being me i decided to go and check the park out to see what exactly he meant by that and what do you know ONE SINGLE PUDDLE right in the entrance which was nowhere near the jumps. Never coming again. Thank you for the experience.

This bike and skatepark is a joke. Needs to be open during ALL DAYLIGHT hours. Went there and was yelled at. Just because were in Folsom I think some people need a reminder this is a PARK, not a PRISON.

This skatepark is a heartbreaking travesty. I was in high school when this park was built, and we were all thrilled we were getting our own park. This is a pretty well designed park too. But the pad requirement, entry fee, and arbitrary hours prevented any of us from ever using the place. It was never even a consideration when trying to find a place to skate. I've passed this place almost every week for the last decade, and it's rare that I see just five people using it. If you're a parent and don't see the big deal, let me explain.Pad requirement. It is industry standard for skateparks not to require pads. The reasons are twofold. First, pads restrict your movement, and skateboarding is a sport of millimeters. You develop highly specific muscle memory through training, and putting a bulky piece of plastic on your joints changes the entire calculus. You have to compensate with excessive force just to do the things you're accustomed to, putting you at greater risk of injury. Second, pads don't protect you from the injuries we're actually afraid of. They'll prevent a little kid from crying over a bruised knee, but they won't protect anyone from a torn ACL. In fact, the decreased mobility leaves you exponentially more likely to break or tear something serious. Cuts and scrapes heal in days; a torn ligament haunts you the rest of your life. I'll appeal to the youth on this point: this park is not a viable place to get footage. Kids don't just want to land a new trick; they want to get a clip to post online. Get a good enough clip and it gains traction. Suddenly influencers and pros want to skate the park. Then normies from out of town want to come skate it too, if they're willing to pay the idiotic entrance fee that this park insists on. Assuming the fee is nonnegotiable, that's a lot of money the city is leaving on the table. I'm pretty entrenched in the online skate scene, and I've never seen anyone of note skate this park. Considering how tightly knit the skate community is, it's very telling that this park is on absolutely no one's radar. The solution is simple: don't require pads. Pads look dorky to the casual content consumer. Posting a clip wearing full pads is like going off a BMX kicker ramp with training wheels. It almost doesn't count. Let's make a compromise. Require a helmet. None of us would be happy about it, but the skateboarding community would gladly wear one if we could take off the shackles. Concussions are a real concern, we get it. We can deal with it. Another thing that baffles me is why they would ever lock the gate on this place. It's a public space. The reason anyone goes to a skatepark is so they don't have to hop a fence to get to the spot. That's always rubbed me the wrong way on a symbolic level. The park has a weird gated community vibe to it which goes against everything skateboarding represents. If you're reading this while looking for a park, drive 30 minutes over to Cameron Park instead. It's an inferior park in almost every way, but it's free, always open, and you don't need pads or a helmet. For those reasons alone, despite living in Folsom, I consider Cameron Park my local skatepark.

This would be an awesome park if the owner decided to actually allow it to be open. Every time I go there it's totally empty and no one is allowed to go in until 3:30 PM in the afternoon They close their bike park over tiny little puddles. According to the kids working there the owner of the park is "always watching" the location on camera...I hope he or she enjoys seeing the park empty.Super lame

Weaaaak. The skatepark looks dope if you could actually skate it. if you want to just walk into the skatepark you have to wear a helmet. funnny seeing grown adults sitting in chairs wearing helmets. The bike park isn't maintained at all. the one side that's open is garbage and nobody is ganna progress over there. this place is so weak dude whoever oversees this is doing a hell of a job. looks like the dog park is poppin though.

What a waste of time. I haven't been skating for 15+years to be yelled at by some old dude for not wearing pads/helmet. This park isn't even worth it anyways. Can't get any tricks down with scooter kids just doing whatever they want, when they want. Notice how the only good reviews come from suburban moms concerned about "safety" and "environment"Pick up a new hobby or have your kid ride their scooter in your driveway like everyone else. Save the SKATE park for actual skateboards. If I could give this place negative stars I would. Can't believe I wasted time and gas for this.
