    It’s a cool park. Really smooth surface with lots of good wedges. Not for those who ride or skate bowls only. Some funky lines worked in, but still a great park!

    This place was awesome. It is a park that has that street feel. Not much for park ramps, but is great for Street people. It's right near downtown so it's a really cool scene to be around. I loved it. My only problem is that there is no free parking near by, not cheap parking either.

    Cool big skatepark with cool stairs,ledges and street obstacles. The only issue is the park has quite a bit of homeless and ghetto people. I would recommend to go near the daytime then the night time because it gets pretty scary after about 8 PM. Very big and cool street park over all.

    It's a cool park. Truly smooth surface with bunches of good wedges. Not for the individuals who ride or skate bowls as it were. Some out of control lines worked in, yet at the same time an extraordinary park!

    Good park, decent layout. City needs to blow the park off sometimes, some broken glass and pebbles all over. Cracky homeless vibes, but still a great park. Locals seem to all be beasts, and transition really well between obstacles.

    God area to walk generally, you can walk to planetarium/ lake shore / Millennium park Kids also come here and chill in thier own area . If you are not a skater : Great place to sit because it’s safe , things around you would be dynamic ; you will see some one jumping , someone getting high , someone doing stunts ; sometimes big groups of teens partying and doing wild stunts . I am a novice skater , I go here for morning / evening workout sometimes ; great place to chill and walk around .

    Great park, obstacles of every kind. One problem is it gets pretty busy towards the second half of the day. Other than that, super fun time.

    I skated here while on a work trip. I'm used to low-traffic suburban skateparks, so this was an eye-opening experience. Someone set off a loud firecracker--I thought it was a bomb and that terrorists had struck. The skatepark itself is very good. There's a good variety of obstacles, and even some mellow banks that are good for beginners.

    This is a great plaza-style park, for people who like plaza-style parks. It loses one star for me because I'm a skater who enjoys a good variety of skate terrain, especially a good transition section/snakerun/bowl, which this park completely lacks aside from two quarterpipes near the far side of the park. Despite that though, and especially after I got rained out of my session when a storm came in, it would definitely be worth a trip back out to again!
