Parks + Pipe

Explore the Sierra Playgrounds

Established in 1993, Sierra-at-Tahoe has been at the helm of terrain park design + progression for over 20 years. What was once known as “The Circuit,” the Sierra Playgrounds are now made up of 8 nationally recognized parks that have been featured in countless film segments and magazines. A breeding ground for Olympians with a strong focus on progression, we provide playful and diverse features for all ability levels.

Like an audience? Broadway Park is the place to see and be seen, visible from both Easy Rider Express and The Plaza. Typically boasting a medium jump line, small jumps, and small to medium jibs, Broadway Park is a staple of the Sierra Playgrounds.

The Alley

One of the first parks ever built in the region, The Alley is Sierra’s bread and butter. Featuring Short Stuff—it’s own, devoted, lift—this south-facing park is designed for putting on a show and getting the shot with tons of medium to large jibs and triple jump line. Coupled with park crew's jams rocking on the speakers, The Alley is a freestyle stomping ground with terrain and a chill vibe that builds your trick repertoire.

Halfpipe

The only halfpipe in South Lake Tahoe, Sierra’s pipe has been the training grounds for Olympians and World Champs. Sometimes built as a “modified pipe” with different shapes incorporated to allow for more creativity, you’re sure to have fun once you drop in. Rock Garden is a devoted chair lift for the pipe so it's easy to put a ton of laps under your feet.
