I always make it a habit to stop by here before I go to work or whenever I need time to myself think about life and the progress i have made. A great place to clear your mind, keep yourself focused, play a game of basketball, excersie put in the work before taking on the day. I would love to tell you that this park is disgusting, full of drug addicts and homeless. Then maybe the tourists would stay away. Fortunately, this is not true. This is the only park in the area that is not overly crowded - I usually go in the morning, I live very close, so I'm lucky this park is great! #GoodJourney

It doesn't have bathrooms or a parking lot. It does have picnic tables and a basketball court. There were people here with their dogs. It's a quiet area.

There are two skate parks…read more Far off the street is an add-on type of skate park. There are a few of these throughout the state with a few items plopped on what could be a parking lot. Closer to the street is the new skate park, both with street and vert features. During opening day, the group from Skidmark Skate Mag were there, with free stuff--and a very long line. After the grand opening festivities ended, the serious skating began. It's a good small park with a centrally-located bowl, and some street features around the sides, including a wall ride and rails. There is a large quarter-pipe at the end away from the street. While the people who own H-Skate and their team were friendly, don't expect this of everyone. I can't emphasize this enough. Local people seem to be rude and aggressive far too often. That isn't like any other skate park I've visited in the state, thankfully.
