History: The people organizing this park were really on the ball. They contacted knowledgable folks at a time when not much was known.
Overall: Transitions are a bit wavy, but a solid park with a well designed bowl and ledge. It had a huge, gnarly rail that the city took out after a couple months.
. .
The gravel surrounding the park does an excellent job of keeping mud
and debris out of the park.
