What visitors say
★★★★★
“Nice park, very smooth. But the day I went there was a man blowing grass all into the park and it was very slippery and dangerous. The city needs to do something about that.”
★★★★★
“This park is seriously my top 10 list. Maybe number 4-5 overall. They’ve got tons of tiny quarters and rails perfect to just have a blast on. Then the “big” session is really easy with just a set of stairs, a ledge and rail. It’s sweet.”
★★★★★
“Amazing plaza. Great skaters. Not intimidating. Beginner friendly. Huge playground and tennis courts adjacent, library nearby. Community center for the elderly. Literally fun for the whole family.”
★★★★★
“Great skatepark! Well thought out build and obstacles. (No giant expensive bowl most people don’t use or bad metal ramps but concrete features of all sizes) Attached to a nice community center that serves the communities needs. Alief skatepark puts all skateparks in a 10 mile…”
