‘Tweens and teens especially appreciate the chance to ride the half-pipes, bowls and waves at Black Pearl Skate and Surf Park. With a whopping 52,000 square feet of concrete challenges, the facility bills itself as one of the world’s largest skate parks. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced areas. Those wanting to ride the surf can tackle waves up to 11 feet high, generated by the park’s Waveloch machine. The park provides equipment and lessons. Surfers can be as young as 4 years old. On some Saturday nights, the park’s surf team puts on a show.
