We Are One Skate Park – Midvale

There are times in life when the universe blesses you with an amazing skate environment. Unfortunately this is not one of them.
1. Hostile Employees
2. Serious Safety Issues
3. Not Friendly at all
4. Incredibly Slippery Ramps
5. Dilapidated
6. Overpriced
After traveling around the country skating various parks, this was my least favorite. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome park, good price, good shop, great for the winter. The mini is now skatelited which is great, and the big park is good, and is made to go big on. Good park.

Let me emphasize one thing: It’s an Indoor Park. In Utah. Winter, remember?
OK, that aside, I have mixed feelings about We Are One. It’s definitely designed for bikers and rollerbladers (imagine that!), though skaters are welcome. The main course is super big with lots of tall banks, quarters, and levels, marked by rails and a few hips or corners. Not a lot of edges have coping – mostly just the quarters.
The park is made for going big, and some of the locals definitely do.
But what hung me up is that the ramps are built of basic woods – plywood, maybe masonite, etc., making them super slick. No Skatelite here. The slickness is exasperated by the fact that it’s an indoor park, and subject to dust and oil and grit sifting down to the floor. So plan to spend the first 45 min just getting used to that.
My favorite part of this park is the mini-​ramp, which is truly mini, mellow, but definitely worth the minimal entry fee for indoor sessions during those cold winter months.
