Don't waste your time coming here…read more Overpriced, in very bad shape (considering how much they charge) not to mention they don't allow wax, floor is super dirty and patched up with wood and if you clean your wheels on the wall you are asked to leave according to the signs they have. So basically your wheels get dirty from their dirty ground and then... you are screwed lol. There are definitely better places to skate. Do your self a favor and go to battleground instead, it's only 30 mins away from there, way cheaper and in much better condition. Bad vives all together and feels like a DIY rather then an indoor skatepark. OH YEAH. NO WALLRIDES ALLOWED LMAO

The answer is: yes. Very nice little playground by a scenic creek/river. Strikingly beautiful grounds, with little trails over the five historic bridges (yes) that have been moved here. Lots of flowers and foliage, at least in the late summer. You'll just have to trust me and try it.
