    Modern is the best. The first time I went when I moved to Michigan in 2021 it reminded me exactly…read moreof going to Vans skatepark in California 2 decades ago. Been hitting it at least once a week since. So lucky to have something like this local- especially for the winters. I hope modern stays open forever.

    My mom and I took my nephew here since my brother and SIL were in town for an anniversary e…read more Open from noon to 8PM on Saturday. $16 for two hours of skating and $25 for all day skating. They do lock-in skating events usually during holidays mostly. There are tables for the folks that aren't skating and they have Wi-Fi and a parent room that's quieter. Two seat high tables along the fence for the minor kids and a bunch of random couches by the main entrance. The parent room provides a bit of shelter from the constant noise of wheels rolling over metal plates at the top and bottom of a ramp. The interior is a big open warehouse. Fenced in for the skaters. Not fancy, but lots of different ramps for skateboarding, rollerblading or for razor scooters. My nephew wanted to try out every ramp to see which one was to his liking. Do bring a book, noise canceling headset and maybe a phone charger too. If you need snacks, Kroger is just across Stephenson and Penn Station subs just a half a mile away. They do have some snacks in the 3 vending machine. Probably a bit more fun coming with friends. My nephew felt a bit comfy after a half hour of getting the lay of the land. It can feel a bit chilly in the warehouse. My nephew said there's some fun ramps and runs, he was getting toasty running around some. Not me. He walks some and studies them ahead of skating to see what's on the other side to make sure there aren't any stairs on the other side of a ramp. My nephew likes the two half circle ramp with the flat landing in between. He also enjoyed the bowl, which has a slope to enter it.

    I didn't get a chance to skate the park, I did take a tour of it. I didn't have my board when I…read morevisited Detroit from NJ, but, if you're into transition, this is definitely the park for you. It's a little hard to find where to park, but you want the street perpendicular to what Google Maps tells you. I wish I had brought my board! It's the only park in Detroit and I found out my AirBnB was right next to it before I left to go back home. I probably wouldn't skate here alone in the evening hours, but it's definitely worth checking out with some friends.

    Transforming a once vacant lot into Detroit's ONLY skatepark has been an ambition project for…read moreDetroit transplants Mitch & Gina (of Power House Production fame). As an area resident, it's great see such a positive addition to this neck of the woods....yes, we often get neglected around here as Corktown, Midtown, and the other kitschy Detroit neighborhoods get all the buzz & attention. But, that's another story. Gaining popularity with Detroit's growing skateboarding scene, Ride It has attracted professional Skateboarders & BMXers, as well as the neighborhood kids. I've seen the youngn's crossing the freeway with their bike & board in hand, eagerly awaiting to visit the skatepark. As recreational facilities close left & right with the city's ongoing financial woes, Ride It has become an oasis for these kids. If you're not from this area & would like to visit this Skatepark know the following: (1.) It's located off of Davison East (at Klinger St) - Yes, it's in the hood! (2.) There's a parking lot directly behind the park. (3.) Open from dawn til dusk.
