Marina Pump Track
Gloria Jean Tate Park, 3254 Abdy Way, Marina, (831) 884‑1253, cityofmarina.org
In 2023 on one side of the Peninsula, a city council shot down a proposed skate park project, bumming out the parents, teens, and kids who had worked and lobbied hard. In another city, the 6‑year‑long development of a similar recreational park was unveiled. At Gloria Jean Tate Park in Marina, three tracks offer people on bikes, skateboards and scooters the chance to roll up and down a series of berms – go down one side of the mound you gain momentum to cruise on up the next. New to this concept? You can cut your pump track teeth on the beginner track. The first of its kind in Monterey County, this project is celebrated (and widely used) by Marina residents, bikers, skaters, and scooter operators from around the county.
