The park itself is pretty cool. The middle ledge section has about 3 different levels, all types of ledges edged with metal, manny pads and a couple euro-gaps. Exercise your skateboarding on a smooth ground with great flow and cement banks everywhere. There are six-stair sits in the middle of the park with a handrail in the middle and metal ledges on either side that will take your activity away.
