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.
