Great little skatepark. Mellow, not a ton of people and the few people I met were really nice. I’m an older dude getting back into riding, so a bit self-conscious, and didn’t feel like I needed to worry about it here. Also really nice environment, and close by portal potties.

Positively the best park I’ve been to. My friends and I played on the playground late at night and it was a blast. We spent the whole day yapping in the grass. Love it here.

Beautiful park with a large enclosed area for the dogs, both shady and sunny and a lot of grass. There are areas that have chairs and certainly you can bring your own, but one of the best dog parks I’ve been to. We’ll be back!
