There is nothing to do here for a beginner except maybe play with this tiny pyramid and try to learn how to skate transition, The shallow concrete is pretty Jenky it's far jankier than the deep end and the jankyness slows you down a lot, so keep that in mind. The roll in just throws you into the wall unless you go in sideways like a surfer or something and it's pretty sketch doing that, I'd say it's great for round wall and vert riders the vert side is just barely 8' so it's a great entry point for the vert curious to get your feet wet, bring softer wheels as the rough pavement isn't letting you slide out super easy which is a plus for some and a minus for others.

This skatepark near the Art Museum was conceived in 2002, and brought to fruition in 2013. It was…read moremade from unutilized space, and is now accessible from another city project, the Schuylkill River Trail. I saw kids get on Regional Rail in the 'burbs, and be able to access this park via Schuylkill River Trail from 30th Street Station. It was great to see this so available to urban and suburban kids alike. I didn't see any posted rules, so I assume this was okay, but a group of kids on bikes were occupying one area, doing various tricks, while two other noticeable areas were available for skateboarders. It was very fun to watch everyone doing their stuff. There is graffiti all over the ramps and flat space. It is contained to the skatepark, so I'm guessing they gave a paint party to make it look authentic? Either that or our city graffiti artists are respectful of trail vs skatepark boundaries. My only complaint was it seemed overgrown. There are no grass patches growing through cracks in pavement or anything like that (I saw no cracks anyway), but the planting beds were straggly, and just really overcrowded with uncultivated sapling trees and weeds as big as bushes. If it were spring, allergies would be going haywire. All in all a great use of greenspace. It's just really in need of landscapers.

Lastly, there is parking next to the park - I'm estimating the lot could hold about 20 cars. But if the lot is full, there's street parking too.

They have a great field for baseball. Please note, Freehold Little League is held here so if there is a game, parking will be hard. They also have many playgrounds for kids. They seem to have themed playgrounds so that if you are meeting other parents, just say, "we'll convene at the blue or pirate ship playground" and everyone will find it. They have a fenced in skateboard ramps for tweens and up which I personally think is a fabulous idea. The ramps are spaced and curved only for skateboards. Longboards should definitely stay only on the paved paths where they belong. Speaking of trails, their trails are mixed between paved and dirt. You can safely go on a light walking trail here either solo or as you are walking your dogs. They also provide a few stations with plastic bags for the owners to clean up after their dogs. They also have basketball courts, dog runs, picnic areas, a spray ground on hot summer's days and my favorite, a sports field with obstacle courses. Perfect for the bigger kids with lots of energy and to build coordination. I went in March where things are just somewhat starting to bloom. I can only imagine the splendor in late June where everything will be fully bloomed and the grass will be lush. I look forward to revisiting this park, especially when it's Freehold Township Day where there will be plenty of fireworks, rides and the Vets car show!

Live energy, little activity tables, and a small plant sale that was honestly very tempting. One of the coolest things I learned is that they have what's believed to be the oldest ginkgo tree in both North and South America. That alone made the visit feel a little special. I spent some time walking the trails and made my way around the water too. It's really pretty back there. Lots of flowers in bloom, open space, and quieter areas if you want a break from the crowd. I definitely liked the more shaded, tree-heavy sections the most. Some of the booths were set up fully in the sun and it got a bit intense after a while, so having those cooler, shaded areas made a big difference. Staff were very helpful and the trails are clearly marked, which made it easy to just wander without worrying about getting lost. Only downside is the location can be a little tricky to get to, especially if you're not driving. But once you're there, it's absolutely worth it. Overall just a really enjoyable, laid-back outdoor spot with a lot to explore. I'd come back, especially for another event.
