Yolo County, CA Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

505, adopted by Ordinance 1172 effective January 5, 1995, makes it unlawful for any person to ride a skateboard, roller skates, or roller blades on any property on which a building owned, occupied, or maintained by the County is located. The ban is not limited to building interiors or entryways; it covers the entire parcel the building sits on, so a courthouse plaza, library grounds, or an administration building's parking lot are all off limits to skating under the plain text. The section carves out one exception: park and recreation facilities that the Director of General Services has designated as appropriate for skating, skateboarding, and rollerblading remain open.

This provision sits in Chapter 3 of Title 4 (County Highways and Traffic-related regulations covering County property), distinct from the County's separate park-trail rules for bicycles, scooters, and skateboards in Title 9 (Section 9-3 series), which govern speed, helmet use for riders under 18, and yielding to pedestrians on park trails rather than building grounds. Anyone wanting to skate legally on County property in Davis, Woodland, West Sacramento's unincorporated fringes, or elsewhere in the unincorporated county needs to confirm the specific site has been designated by the Director of General Services before doing so.
