    Been here before and is a great park. The graffiti is out of control here and the trash and vandalism is sad. Nice park but city needs to manage it better. Fence and Lock up at night?

    This place is enormous. I’m not a skater but it seems like a place a kid could skate and in for many hours and not get bored.

    Absolutely love that we still have such an amazing extreme skate park in Louisville. No better place to get your children outdoors and staying active, learning new skills like balance, coordination and safety. I've visited the past 3 or 4 weekends (in the mornings) and believe I've seen more middle age folks with their young children still trying to "thrash"....or really just trying not to crash, than I have teens. It truly is one of the better kept secrets of Louisville's efforts to appeal to a vast group of diverse residents within our community.

    We're road tripping to skateparks and this one is our favorite! It has everything you might want: bowls, tunnels, ramps, rails, character, boards, bmx, scooters, rollerbladers, beginners, pros, and even free pizza and drinks last night courtesy of a local church group.

    I don't skate, but I wanted to check this place out. Every city in America should have one of these. Most impressed.

    It is great to see a place designed so both young and not so young people, can enjoy physical outdoor activities. Community projects are usually win win. Let's keep it cleaner than you sound it.

    .. a once gorgeous park. Now looks like Nyjah’s neck. Thanks for destroying this place, skate culture. Learn from FDR, multiple layers of paint makes surfaces unpredictable.

    Friends tucks us here today. It's pretty cool. We didn't have any problems with anyone. My daughter had a blast we stayed for hours. It's kinda a big place. Yes there is trash but it's still a pretty cool place.

    This place is amazing! It has something for everyone. Huge Halfpipe, massive bowls, transitions. It's really not in a great part of town, but during the day, it was just fine. Top 10 skate parks in the US.

  • 5/5 Jason C. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be mostly a park for bowl skaters and vert, but it's much more street oriented now since the remodel. Skaters are so talented now they had to make more challenging obstacles to keep up with the times I guess. Personally I miss the old park but maybe just because of nostalgia.

    Had a blast 💯💯💯 My family and me have skates, and we all ways go to the water park, always crowded and rocks sticks. So my daughter suggested we come here and we had fun everyone was chill we were skating with BMX riders, skateboarders, scooters, and it was good everyone was safe with no issues,so we have been back twice since then and will continue to go.....👍❤️💪💯

    I came here back in the day (2004) before google reviews we’re around. My friends and I came on our senior trip to session this skatepark and some local spots for a week . This park was rad Af . Enjoy these good times that you’re having with you friends . I didn’t realize then that they would soon be the “good old days “

  • 5/5 Diane L. 11 months ago on Google
    I live near this park, & although I'm to old to skateboard, I do like to go watch everyone skateboard, bike, & whatever they use. The kids are very talented, & although I don't interact with them, I still enjoy watching them practice, show off, & teach each other. Every once in awhile someone will approach you with a skateboard to sell. I took my granddaughter there not to long ago, & have been told she wants to skateboard now herself, so looking forward to being approached once more with a skateboard to sell. A most enjoyable park, even for those who don't participate.

    We came to Louisville for a book signing never, intending on finding a massive skatepark. It turns out, this city has a pretty big skating community. Some of the local parks even have small skate parks included. I haven't skated since I was a kid... but coming here certainly brought out some urges to play. Sadly, we didn't bring our skateboards. The park is a little messy, but it's a free, public place. The graffiti is beautiful and everything seems to be relatively well-maintained. Most of it is concrete and steel which lasts practically forever anyway. If I'm ever back in Louisville, I'm for sure bringing something with wheels... even if I'm 80 and all I have is a wheelchair.

    haven't been able to go in a long time and it was bigger last time I was there tells ya how long it's been lol but it's a fun place to go and skate ride or scoot you heart out lol

    Great skate park!

  • 5/5 Derek P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing. Everything one might be looking for and probably more. Skaters and bikers are primarily what I've seen. Tagging is a definite issue, but I appreciate the street artists who have talent sprucing things up a bit. Depending on time you go you might run into some party types of individuals.
