With its smaller size, the park offers a welcoming environment for families and is ideal for beginners. Shade structures, bathrooms, and benches allow parents to supervise comfortably.

Safe and friendly even for a family event. Will definitely return and recommend it to anyone that loves to skate board.”

The variety makes it an excellent destination for families with several interests. Like Dylan Duncan Skatepark, the metal ramps can heat up in sunny weather, so plan accordingly.
