What visitors say
★★★★★
“Not good! Within 10 minutes of arriving, I had people sitting down next to my son and I that were blatantly smoking foils of dope less than 10 ft away. The park sits right off of the homeless strip. Skating...there isn't a lot of options pretty basic, beginner level ramps.”
★★★★★

★★★★★
“No reason not to give the skatepark 5 stars.
The square flat bar is perfect. The wedge is fun. The two ledges are fun. The quarter pipe with the noping is fun. The pyramid is stuuuhheeeeeep but other than that it’s a fun place to practice.”
★★★★★
“Park is good for beginners, the only difficult obstacle is the pyramid because it's steep”
