Great skatepark. Wont lie I expected it to be even doper. Dont get me wrong its sweet, but as an Ohio bumkin I had pretty high expectations lol. Planning to come back and hit it when I can for sure tho.

It’s a cool park. Really smooth surface with lots of good wedges. Not for those who ride or skate bowls only. Some funky lines worked in, but still a great park!

This park was AWESOME. It is huge with plenty of features to skate. I loved the many different options for long lines.There was plenty of shade to get out of the hot sun. The lake is just a short walk away. You must go to this if you are in the area.

Great vibes, perfect for skaters, bmxer or rollerbladers feeling adventurous. Pretty safe though I would still keep an eye on everything.

Great park in a great location with amazing views. I usually grab a beer and a Subway sandwich before coming and hang out and skate for a couple hours.

Good park, can get a little crowded. Probably not the best place to bring young kids, but after all it is a skatepark so I dont know what you expect if youre brining your kids here.

This place was awesome. It is a park that has that street feel. Not much for park ramps, but is great for Street people. Its right near downtown so its a really cool scene to be around. I loved it. My only problem is that there is no free parking near by, not cheap parking either.

Great construction and layout - keep your eyes on any personal items that you may remove from pockets and/or backpack, ect because the locals told me that some groups that hang there regularly are in fact rather sketchy and will steal your stuff.I arrived to park at 9:30 and was under the impression that when the park is closed for the day that the night lights would shut off like practically every single skatepark across the United States that I have been to.Several Chicago P.D. Officers arrived on what appeared to look like 18 speed mountain bicycles. As I sat on the bench completely aware that the cops were peddling right toward my direction, I smiled and waved to ask the cop how his night was going?Immediately the cop ordered to myself and one other guy who appeared to be intoxicated from alcohol that the park was closed and to leave. As I stood up he then looked me in the eye and told me to throw away all of the trash that was at the park as if he has had trouble with me on a regular basis and I am there every day (which I am not).I immediately rejected his request because I wasn’t in the mood to service the community considering I would be “working” for free not to mention I was at that particular time simply a tourist that broke no laws.The cop immediately challenged me and said (paraphrasing) if I didn’t submit and obey his authority he would handcuff me and take me to the local jail to spend the rest of the night in a holding cell.I guess he was going to have me stand on his rear bike pegs as he would pedal his bicycle to the police station. LolI asked you would take me to jail when I have in fact committed to crime whatsoever as well as my id provides where it is I am in fact from?He immediately became uncomfortable and said to just leave.From there I picked up countless empty beer cans and water bottles and caught my Uber back to my work truck...

Such a fun, well-built park. Lots of ledges with plenty of street stuff. You probably wont like it if you are looking for a lot of transition though.

Huge plaza type skatepark, with many different ledges, rails, manny pads, quarter pipes and banks! Beautiful setting with buildings on one side and a lake view on the other. You could easily spend a full day here and not get bored.

Great skate park. Just alot of people who sit around and do nothing. Kinda weird when you are trying to skate

Very great park. Best one in Chicago. Can get crowded at times but not too crowded. Not the best place to bring small children who lack skatepark etiquette

Amazing skate park with lots of great obstacles, rails, and ledges. Sort of slick with hard urethane wheels, but only after rain, nice buttery ledges and other things that are all around fun
