The Edge Skate Park

This is a really great skate park. My 5-​year old daughter likes to go there regularly. There are several reasons for the five star. (a) It has stuff for all skill level. (b) The guys playing there are really nice. Specifically, no swearing or anything like that. © It is right next to the bus stop. (d) There is a drinking water fountain in the park (e) It feels very safe.

For a smaller-​scale, «inner city» skate park, this one fits the bill. It sure provides those of us waiting for buses at the Metro bus Park and Ride right beside it with plenty of free entertainment! Usually populated by teens, it’s refresching to see that most are cordial and rarely do I see kids smoking or hear swearing (I’m often at the bus stop with my younger kids).
I like the set-​up of this park: it has small hills to the west, the parking garage to the south, and the bus bays to the east. There is an «active» graffitti wall, as the City encourages pent-​up teen taggers to let loose on this wall — and the results are usually pretty creative! I always thought this was a terrific idea to discourage graffitti elsewhere, by allowing it in certain public spaces. Looking at the skate park proper, it seems to have all the rails and ramps that most other skate parks have — perhaps just in a more constricted space.
