The standing wave peaks at about 6',
most of it vert. The Great Pyramids are steep and burly.
The park is divided in half by a curb about 8" tall,
with ramps on the extreme left and right.
It has a center box and a cool saddle joining the 8'
and 5' bowls.

History: A broad community effort. I don't know the details. It seems to be the Ryan Patrick Graves Memorial Skatepark.
Overall: The curb across the park is an open gash, painful, self inflicted. 5 out of 10.
Special: Concrete wave, Hawaiian style.
