PlazaStreetLedgesRails

Famous since the 1990s for the ledges around its tree boxes and a tall stage ledge, the courthouse plaza became a legal skate spot in 2014 after local skaters worked with the city and Nike SB.

Heads up · The civic site is slated for redevelopment and it reopened in February 2026 with temporary obstacles, so expect changes.

How the read works

We track the water on the ground hour by hour, starting two days back. Rain adds to it; sun, wind and dry air take it away (the forecast's evaporation figure, which folds all three together); frost locks it in. Concrete sheds most of a downpour and dries in a couple of hours on a good day. Dirt soaks it up and takes a day or more, and riding it while it's mud ruts it. It's a model, not a camera: shady corners and the bottom of a bowl hold water longer. Weather from Open-Meteo.
