This place has potential but the transitions need to be redone, they are completely unskateable and the concrete is pretty rough and slow. It is obvious this park was not designed by skateboarders.

At first glance it looks like a fantastic, medium size park. Bowls, quarter pipes, wedges, walls hubus, rails, a giant three block, manual pads, flat bars and a ridiculously tall and pointy speed hump. But, look close in that second image... this park was not built by a company that makes skate parks. The joints are massive, even in the bottom of bowls... right at the bottom of the transition, a 1 inch gap that may or may not be filled with some squishy putty. The surface is slow and rough. I actually left the park and tested the blacktop of the bike path to see if it was just me or my bearings or my wheels... nope this surface is inappropriate for skate park construction! You might say I’m just sore since I dropped in on that delightful little pool, But instead of carving my way around the deep end, I flew headfirst into the bottom of the deep when my board didn’t roll when I dropped in. You’d be right! I am sore, and bleeding a little bit.

It would be a totally sick park if the ground was actually smooth. There's a bunch of purposeful cracks in the ground. Kinda like a puzzle. It has mostly transition, ramps, and ledges. Great for bikes and bigger wheels. Not so good for regular skateboard wheels. Pretty quiet besides the cars going past but eventually it turns into white noise.

it's amazing location. not sure if there's better parking. seems a bit hard to get too. no restroom near by. it's a neat skate park. not the best surface.

Not really worth going. Cement is cracking and coping on ledges are falling apart. Transitions are really steep and hard to ride for any sport. What they call quarter pipes are really rough and steep. The nearest parking is down the road that you have to pay for. Your better off going downtown and riding the Grant Skate Park. I was pretty disponted with this park.
