Skaters from all over Marin County have enjoyed the Novato Skate Park since it opened in 2002. It is on Hamilton Parkway on the northwestern edge of the Hamilton area. The 15,000-square-foot skating area, designed by Santa Cruzan Zack Wormhoudt, has about 6-7 feet of depth and plenty of coping for grinding. The park also has a grassy area and picnic tables. The city will close the park for a minimum of two days if there are instances of graffiti or tagging. The bowl is for skateboarders and in-line skaters only.
One of the city's largest parks, Ramsay Park has a skate-park, soccer fields, a basketball court, a baseball diamond and three playgrounds. The picnic area includes reservation-only group areas, individual tables and grills. There also are restrooms and large parking lots off Main Street and Harkins Slough Road. The Soccer Central indoor soccer facility, the city's Nature Center and the Ramsay Park Family Center adjoin the park.
The Adobe Art Gallery showcases local artist in an intimate, small setting. It is located inside the Adobe Art Center Park. Simply follow the driveway next to the park all the way to the end, and the building will be on your right. Go to the office behind the gallery and ask them to let you in.
