Really cool and clean skate park. I wondered if it would be well maintained and it really is well…read moremaintained. The skaters are cool, nobody bothers anyone rather they encourage each other. Since this is my first skate park it feels on the smaller side but heck it's a solid park. Ramps are all cement, no wood to have decay.

The skate park is open to all. The people that hang out here are pretty nice. It's a great way to…read morekill a couple of hours. Parking is free. There are a few ramps to work with.

First off, this spot is frequented... a lot. It's changed a bit over the years. First, it was…read morefenced. Fence is gone and now just open. The pavement is rough... but, the ramps must be pretty good cuz a lot of people go there, plus it's free. The Ramps are smooth, skateboarders go there like crazy, it's right next to the trail, next to the parking lot for city hall. No lights, so when it gets dark it's over. For free, in a one hoarse town... it's a good spot.

What a great park! There's shade from the surrounding trees…read more Also, there are round picnic tables. There is no shade at the picnic table area but I did see people bring their own tent to shade themselves - they were having a birthday party at the pump track. I like that there is a place with some tools to repair your bike if you so need to! Very helpful!

Free, very nice, paved pump track for riding bikes. There are actually 2 tracks- one for novice…read moreand one for more experienced. Nice group of people hang around it/support it. Small skate park next door and bike shop nearby.

I visited Ringwood State Park for a hike with a hiking group I'm apart of. This park has a lot of…read morecool sights to see as you go along the trail. When you first arrive, you arrive at a big house/mansion. I didn't get to read much on the history of this house, but the grounds were beautiful. They also gave a bit of a creepy vibe at times. The trail was fairly easy to hike. However, there was a part where you have to walk across a river. You have to be careful because some of rocks are slippery. I think this would be a good place to hike in the fall around Halloween just because of the creepy vibes.

Maybe not as well known but Ringwood State Park is a pleasure to walk with a lot of trails! The…read morearea around Shepherd Lake is beautiful and a perfect place to walk around with a cup of coffee. Also no fees for admission or parking!

Avoid at all costs while they are doing construction. It's impossible to actually get to a trail…read morehead. And there is no one in any of the offices to actually offer help. They should have warned us many trails closed or detours when we paid the parking fee. While not much I would have skipped the $10 feet since we actually didn't do anything during our trip as all the trail heads were too far

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ LOTS of trails of all levels if you're into hiking. + The Hessian Lake Loop is a super easy walking path for those with families, has a great view of the lake and mountain and has many picnic tables surrounding it. + The Trailside Museums & Zoo is located not too far from the Hessian Lake Loop and is totally, 100% free! And you WILL actually see animals, including a black bear, porcupine and bobcat! + There are vending machines randomly located throughout the park. Yes, they are pricey, but, if you're desperate you'll fork up the $$$ for a beverage or snack. + There are public restrooms every once in awhile by Hessian Lake. + There are multiple parking lots at the park that charge $10. + There is a massive field, perfect for a game of frisbee or any sport requiring a lot of space, between the Carousel and the Bear Mountain Inn. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Nothing! This park has a little bit of everything for everyone.

A great local park founded by the late great Andy Kessler who should in my opinion be its namesake…read more Used to have more verts but after recent concrete construction has more rails and is more beginner friendly. As of today the bowl is still under construction. Yes, there are scooter kids and a lot of bikes at times but you have to share the space. Definitely one of the better skate parks in the city.

Nice little park, good flow, good options, knee high rails, ledges, bank, gap, concrete mini, only…read moreissue is the death decks on the bank, 1/4, and half. they are maybe 2' wide and drop off 4', at least it's to grass, but still, not a great place to learn lip tricks, the mini ramp coping has plenty of slide but will stall. Was empty when I got there but then tons of kids showed up, seemed chill. Good is huge houses on one side, big houses on the other smaller more beat up houses on the other and the back of a police station on the closest side, if you want to build the skate park behind a hospital or a fire station that's a great place to do it but behind a police station you are just calling skateboarders criminals that need to be watched over by big brother and it's super offensive. Get it together people!!! skateboarding is not a crime, there was a big ad campaign about it in the 80s. there is parking 2hr limit until 7pm closes at dusk.
