What visitors say
★★★★★“Big old bowl, lots of flatground, couple of flat ledges, bunch of transition and the usual street stair/rail/hubba combo. Garvanza isn't reinventing the wheel but it ticks most of the boxes. #1000skateparkchallenge #cementurians”
★★★★★“A mecca. There's something here for everyone, Pool, rails, stairs, pyramid, nipple, quarters, and ramps. If you're going to visit, be respectful and don't hog the park, that's lame. The locals are really friendly and helpful.”
★★★★★“This was the awesomest night ever! My boyfriend Bob Gnarly and I ended up here by surprise with a friend of ours in the middle of the night, in the dark, totally scary! But totally awesome it was great! Bobby has competed here before so it was a great throwback love this place!”
★★★★★“It was actually really fun. All the skaters there were actually very nice, which I honestly didnt expect. Their all very respectful of the other skaters and the spectators. Only thing was there was just a hole to climb through in order to get in. Felt almost like you were doing…”
