What visitors say
★★★★★“The bowl is awesome, but the rest just doesn't make sense. I don't know who is designed this skatepark, but it's definitely not a skater. And besides the bowl the park is actually really small.”

★★★★★“Small skatepark in a park area. Small bowl to drop in from...a few decent (small) ledges to grind on....overall well kept/maintained. The sign says no scooters or bikes allowed on skatepark grounds. The park also had a playground, games of corn hole, and other areas to play…”
★★★★★“I liked it alot, but no bikes allowed. It's really small but a brand new cement park, so everything is really smooth. It only has a bowl and some ledges. The bowl has a 3ft side and 8ft side and is really fun. Liked it but wish bikes were allowed and it was bigger.”
