Great skate park but no enforcement of rules and no monitoring. 13 out of 18 users last Wednesday…read moredid not have helmets on. Also 2 bikers driving recklessly (while their mother watched from a bench). One of the bikers rammed a 9 year old skater. Apparently there is no monitoring or enforcement of the rules that make it safer for everyone. Infraction of rules carries a fine but guess no one else cares. The bikes are a particular menace to others as they are not as controllable as skateboards and scooters and are LARGE pieces of moving equipment with careless riders dominating the skate park.

The only bad part about this skate park was finding it. Google took me to a ground level parking…read morelot near the water and Yelp was also showing me that it was down the hill from where it actually was. If you need help, you can always ask where the tennis courts are--it was just beyond there, not far from the entrance to the park, but you must go up the hill. There is a lot to ride. There is a street section near the parking lot with stairs and rails with a flatter sort of bowl to ride. At the far end, there is a huge bean bowl that is quite deep. You'll find a variety of just about anything else in-between with one section marked "Beginner". There is also a covered area with picnic tables, restrooms, a broken water fountain, and what looked like bleachers up the hill a bit. It is an impressive skate park, and it would be in any part of the state.

You know, I know the design is weird, and the lines are strange but... man this place is so weird!…read moreIt's the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory of skateparks. There are so many discrepancies at work here that it just makes for a bizarre experience, and I can understand the criticisms of the design, but... it's like the Burning man, sometimes you have to get the freak on! - The bathroom looks like stonehenge. - The skatepark, usually situated in the most unattractive of areas, gets to sit on top of a gigantic mountain hill overlooking a golf course and tennis courts. That's just bizarre. - there's a big picnic at hanging rock vibe going on. all those adolescent australian schoolgirls would look at home here before they disappear just like in the film. I'm not even sure if you can judge this on the same qualities you do usual skateparks. Some of the runs are so strange, like, I'm a beginner and I feel like I'm going to get catapaulted off the mountain because they'll throw you REALLY fast into... a dtich! or off the edge of a cliff! neat stuff. The bowl things are... weird! i mean, thinking on this, I don't know, That whole skateboard and pool skating thing was happening due to cultural factors but it was like, an accident. When I went it was also nice because it was a lot of little kids just bopping around and while most skaters are pretty fun, there can be so much pressure and people proving themselves to achieve quality and progression, which is important. but it's cool to have the cute bopping leanring kids. they were pretty good too!

This is a great community park located near the town's community center, a school, along a lagoon…read moreand canals, and near the fwy, neighborhoods, and shops. Really an ideal location for a park! Plenty of parking whether you park in the lot or along the road. It gets quite busy as a number of kids extracurricular activities happen here on evenings and over the weekend. I like coming here to walk with our pup, as there's plenty of grass and space to sniff. Some other dogs we see are off leash, but most people we see are good about keeping their dogs on leash. There are plenty of trees along the park, and a cute path that leads to the neighborhood further up the street. Also, the grounds are kept quite clean, and I seldom see any litter on the ground. Definitely appreciate people keeping our local park clean!

Wow this is a gem! There's at least 3 play structures for all age groups up to 12 years old, plus a…read morepretty decent bouldering (rock climbing) wall, a tall swingset, a tire swing, a pretty good size sandbox with a rock feature in the middle, a medium size grassy area, and an easy-to-miss paved bike track for the tikes that circles half of the whole playground. Two tiny picnic tables are under a partly shaded canopy. Benches are dispersed throughout. When we went, there were ample porta-potties and portable hand-wash basins just outside the fences, and there are permanent bathrooms at the tennis courts nearby. Besides the fenced-in playground, there's a larger park with ample grassy areas, tennis courts, a baseball field, I think a soccer field, picnic tables with barbecue (BBQ) pits, and a small pond with a walking path around it. There's ample parking for cars and a couple of bike racks too. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

For the longest, as a child/teen I thought it was Nickel Park. Now years later I know the truth…read more This park has come a long way in my opinion. Long ago it used to be a nice park. Then times changed and it.....wasn't so nice. Times have changed again in a sense and now it is nice again. Never thought I'd see a skate park section, multiple baseball fields, tennis courts (just tried thos for the first time ever), soccer areas, playground space, and more. Parking can be a bit of a question mark sometimes so look around closely. Give Nicholl Park a shot and enjoy the fresh air and open space.

I enrolled two kids (ages 8 and 11) in the Sk8gym summer camp program the week of July 20th. The…read moreteenage instructors were great with the kids, but the camp leadership and overall management tone made for a negative experience. Throughout the week, both of the kids reported a that instructor/owner was frequently shouting and harshly reprimanding young campers and the teenage instructors. During the final session, when the 11-year-old specifically asked the instructor/owner for guidance on how to ollie, instead of receiving coaching, he was told he could never learn the trick because of how he pushed on the skateboard. This left him in tears. Mind this is a camp to teach kids how to skate - of course they are not experts. When I contacted management directly to raise concerns about how the situation was handled, they refused to offer any accountability and instead placed the blame back on the child. While the staff on the ground are doing their best, I cannot recommend this camp due to management's unsupportive and harsh approach. Learning to skateboard should be a fun and welcoming atmosphere. This was not that.

(Without going into detail, the reason was their fault, not mine.) As other reviews suggested, the owners delayed responding, blamed me, threatened me with a fee for the refund.... By the way, there's no way to contact an actual human being in "real time" -- no phone, no chat, just an email. The instructor who gave the lesson was good, very encouraging and clearly a great instructor. If I could rate the instructor alone, I would give a 5-star review. However, the overall experience really soured me to going back... ever. I'll go to the Church of 8 Wheels from here forward.

I don't like this park.

It's beautiful and people are pretty respectful of distance. I've run here (very few times), walked here (many times) and I just feel calm. There's a lot of bird crap on the ground, so you have to be mindful of where you step, but there was so much history here and I still stop to read the kiosks. I remember visiting with my sister here a few years ago and she loved it. And like me (turned three out here), a lifelong Richmond resident and she had never heard of this place. My mom probably hadn't heard of it, because she would take us to SF or Oakland for events, and this place was in our backyard. The only gripe for me is that it is soooo far away from the city, city. But that's just me. I wish it were easier to access. But that's a "rich person's problem" and really not a reason to lose stars. What draws me to this place is that I've walked in a lot of places and the experience is nothing like this. I come away from my walks feeling rather soothed and much calmer for having been there. The main thing that I have to be careful of is walking too far and having to lumber back over a longer distance than expected. Again, a "rich person's problem" that says more about me than about this space. I'm just glad that it's here and that we can enjoy it!

I grew up riding BMX bikes for many years and we never had anything like this available. Now I can't wait to take my boys there with their bikes, and get another bike for myself. Dirt World has a little bit of everything for everyone. Whoops, berms, tabletops, doubles, big stuff, small stuff. The only things still needed are more lighting, seating and ideally (but due to space constraint, virtually impossible) a secured outhouse and sanctioned racing. But for what is resent, it's a great thing. Go visit Dirt World, help make it a success.
