This is a definite improvement over the downtown Kent skatepark. There is even a water fountain, picnic tables, and bathroom here.
Here, you will see a lot of skateboarders and sometimes the occasional bmxer or guy on a scooter. The skatepark has a pyramid, 4ish foot ledge, a bowl, plenty of quarter pipes, a marble skatebox, and much more.
There are even two rockwalls to be used (bring your own harness on one, and the other one is "safe" to freeclimb).
Located next to a senior citizen center, I guess it gives them something to look at too. Suspicious activity goes on once in a while but that's kind've to be expected.
NOTE: If you are bringing young children to the skate park, make sure they stay out of the way of older skaters. Kids at skateparks piss off the typical skater because they "get in the way". read more
