comment one: So these aren't actually photos from the Skatepark at this location, but the park is always full of kids on the weekend. There are also basketball courts and fields that are readily used as well. I often see old kids/adults giving younger kids skating lessons in the park! It's a great thing to...
comment two: equipment is looking great and getting tons of use!
