The park has you wear a ton of gear that isn’t on the website would not recommend unless you have elbow and knee pads. It’s also very compact.

Fun park for my 8 year-old son. We ended up there on a fairly busy day and the staff were great and all the other kids there were very behaved and nice. There were some sketchy people in other areas of the complex, like the man walking through the playground on his cellphone yelling and cursing at someone on the other end of the line, within earshot of all the kids there, including the young boy walking with him, but you cant expect completely classy behavior in this part of town. Overall a good experience, just dont go too late and be aware.

Well 2 months ago I came to this skatepark expecting to have fun at my first time at a skatepark, unfortunately they were closed and said they weren’t opening back up until phase 3, today is the start of phase 3 at 5pm. I will go to this skatepark fully expecting to skate and have fun. I made a review when i first went and wasn’t aloud. But deleted it because i knew i made it out of pure anger, this is just to prove that they said once phase 3 starts they will open up. So i better be aloud to go skate

Decent skatepark because that is the only one In Charlotte. the elbow and knee pads are required plus a helmet. I’m fine with the helmet policy but not the pads. Also the front desk is rude and impatient. Also have called them several times and Vick is very rude. He doesn’t even say goodbye. I think his name is Vick.

I gave this place 5 stars for the bowl. Pretty wack you have to pay to skate though. Skateboarding at your local park should be free!

A great skate park designed by the legendary Wally Hollyday (Upland Pipeline, Lakewood, etc...) and constructed by Streamline General Contractors. It has a good selection of terrain for most every skater. You need to visit!

A nice complex where kids or adults can find a baseball field, a skateboard area to use and a building that has a gymnasium for indoor activities located on Beal st. Off of Wendover road. Katie Brett

This place is racist! If you’re a black child who loves to skate you’re not safe here!! I’m contacting the news about what happened here today the staff should be ashamed of yourselves.

Poor neighborhood, but a good skate park. Ive been in the rec center there several times, and it was pretty nice. Fields are reasonably well-kept. Decent city park...

Great place to take kids who are just learning. Not to many people getting into the way.

I use the space for outdoor basketball. The courts are decent, but the concrete is cracked in places. I believe the park is getting a facelift with grant money from some organization so I expect the courts will look a lot nicer soon.

Great skate park.... Needs more police patrol since it is literally a block from the police station. Stop covering Cotswold, Elizabeth, and Myers Park for a min and protect this great community center

Great concrete park! Great transitions! It has street and vert elements. The bowl has a six foot end and a 10.5 foot deep end, with tile and pool coping. You have to wear pads, but its well worth it!

Horrible skatepark everyone there is a ass to new skaters I called before we got here to ask if theres anything we need to no but the lady just said to come on down so when we got there she said we need pads and a helmet wasted 8 dollars on the bus to be disappointed. Also this is a vert skatepark we searched up street skatepark so mad staff is really mean.

This park is terrible and gives much hate. The only riders are skateboarder and biker or bmxers. No scooter or rollerblades. Dont even bother to look at them if you are a rider that is not accepted
