No worries about the bigger kids pushing the little ones around and off the ramps. Not today . . . the trees are over-grown and the ramps are shielded from most of the adult view. This skate park is in a great hood, but teenagers will be teenagers! So, as with everywhere you go, watch your little ones. Trails is a well-maintained skate park connected to a recreation center in a great part of town.

The skate park is isolated from the rec center and just as spacious. It appears to have been sectioned off by skill level. The farthest North section is comprised of 4 small but good depth beginner bowls, and a couple short ramps with short rails. This is a great area to practice basic skills and get your confidence up. The other two areas are actually quite challenging and appear to be out of the amateur range. They look like blue/ black runs look to me on the slopes. The bowls are deep, the ramps are steep and the rails are long and have differing grades and levels. The speed is high and actually looks a bit dangerous. My 5 yr old spent most of his time in the beginner bowl area, and then ventured to the middle section, but never ventured into the danger zone. It looked like a great place to film a documentary on skateboarding which moves from beginners to advanced/ expert level skateboarders. My biggest concern was: not one child had on a helmet except for my son and this is literally an accident waiting to happen.

Bike Park review:…read more Not many parks are big enough for a dirt bike area but thankfully Bayou Gulch is! There are 3 bike areas, beginner, intermediate and advanced. All 3 have obstacles, hills, bridges etc. Kids of all ages and adults could spend many an hour here. I would highly recommend. Negative: there are almost no trees, so in the summer it would be super hot. Notes: the bike park is not in the same area as the playground and baseball fields (I got lost) so double check directions if you haven't gone before. There is a covered table area and a port a potty at the parking lot area. The bike trails are a short walk from the parking lot. Dogs are allowed just leashed at all times.

Needless to say Parker's old skatepark was TERRIBLE! There were a few banks with huge cracks at the bottom, and a box in the middle of the park that was burned down several times. Also the place wasn't safe, there was one instance of a kid getting beat with a baseball bat, and I'm pretty sure I saw some sort of drug deal go down there when i was 10 or 11. But, finally in 2008 Parker decided to upgrade their skate scene to get those trouble makers off the streets. Boy! Did they succeed! There is so much I can say, so I'll just start out with, This skatepark kicks ass. It's got a little bowl for the youngsters, a big bowl, good flow, sick stairs and rails, ledges galore, Bob's Hot Dog's, and plenty of flat land so you can perfect your flippy tricks. Bottom line, hurry over to this skatepark as soon as you can so you can shred it up :) Helpful tip: If you are going to hit the ledges make sure they aren't too slippery, you know how the kiddos love to wax them up hardcore.

The skate park is on the small side and a lot of people enjoy skating the same things (mini bowl and the ramps in the middle of the park) so if there are +5 people, it can start to feel crowded.

The splash pad in the summer is a huge hit with families.
