Larry Clark’s 2002 film “Ken Park,” written by Harmony Korine, is set in the town of Visalia, California and while some filming did take place there, much of it actually occurred around the San Fernando Valley.  The opening credits show a montage of the titular character, Ken Park, riding his skateboard around Visalia.

Ken passes this mural at the corner of S Court St and E Acequia Ave, which surprisingly remains unchanged nearly twenty years later.

He then passes the Visalia Community Covenant Church.

He then makes his way to Provident Skatepark, where the montage ends in violence.  The skatepark is still open and actively used by skaters.  While it is listed as being on W Murray Ave, it is easiest to access by driving along N Jacob St.  A building blocks the view, but if you turn next to the railroad tracks and drive down what looks like a parking lot, you’ll reach the park.
