What visitors say
β β β β ββVery crusty ground but still a good enough skatepark to get a great session in, if nothing else because of the fantastic mini ramp. Could def use some renovations though. The hip and box are placed badly, and the flat bar is a bad spot and either sends you straight into theβ¦β
β β β β ββSmall skatepark with a tiny street section and a mini half pipe. Wish this was bigger. Go when nobody will be there if you donβt want to wait a while for a turn. DIY park just down the street as well.β
