What visitors say
★★★★★
“Dope park great street section theres little bit of everything. The bowls also sick. Great for beginners and all levels. Flat bars are round and they have a small 4 stair rails and flat rails that go the other way from the stairs. You don’t need to push much good flow.”
★★★★★
“The people there are chill. I just wish there wasn't roller skating and scooter children that just linger by the ramps and are in the middle of the park. Other than that, the park is dope. Parking is ample. They have a bowl but I'm not going to approach it without proper gear”
★★★★★
“Lights so night is all I have to say.
My only cons is that the obstacles are too low in height. As a rollerblader I tend to like things a little higher. You can see everything clear as day during the nighttime. It does get a little bit crowded because all the obstacles are close …”
★★★★★
“This park is chill, I have fun. Kinda big and the obstacles are for more intermediate skaters like your not be able to do much if your a beginner skater. I give it 4 stars cause there is NO SHADE here and I think some of the obstacles are spaced out a bit too wife like it takes…”
