The Nude Bowl is a popular local skateboard from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. The name comes from the fact that the site was once a nudist resort called "Desert Gardens Ranch."
It is outside of Desert Hot Springs, California and consists of an abandoned red bean swimming pool and several foundations of buildings used to surround the area. No paved road to the Nude Bowl.
Initially, the Nude Bowl was just a skateboarding site, but in the 1990s, big parties and violence became commonplace there. After many complaints about guns and fighting around the Nude Bowl, the police filled him with dirt. Skateboarders return, get rid of dirt, and fix the bowl. After a few months, the police unloaded the concrete and buried the remains of the bowl, but recently the pond was dug up and repaired and now intact.
