I've got to at least check this park out soon. I've heard so many bad comments but have seen pics and it looks good.

The park is pretty thugish, but I do like skating there. The bowl is definitely on the gnarly side but it is fun and fast. Just show up in a group and you will be fine.

Indy taught me to carve. The lumpiness wasn't bad until we all were spoiled by Penn. When it first opened it was the place to be. Now, some bad maintenance decisions by the city and bad ratio of skaters to hood-rats can make it a bummer to ride. Penn and Shawnee have dedicated regulars who keep things tidy, but Indy's kids use the deep end as a bathroom! Lame. If you show up with a couple people and are prepared to do some work (sweeping, drying) there are some fun lines here.

never got to skate it before the anti grafitti paint:(. for me i would love to see it stripped of all the paint. i skated it too soon after i started skating again. it has potential but proves u need to let pros pour the crete.

this place is special to me as well. the second park I skated. skated there a lot, broke my ankle there as well. met still more great homies......... had a good bowl bash there.
i agree with the hood rat thing, some wanne be kid, offered to sell me a quarter bag once when i was there.
after the graffiti cover-up with the industrial floor paint, the place just lost all its appeal to me, not to mention the punks that always bring thier pit bulls, (those things always make me nervous)

This place is so fun. Endless lines and you can carve all day. Yea theres some kinks but highly skateable and the paint can make you slip but you can still go as fast as you can handle. Sadly the area is kinda sketchy so its better to skate with friends.
Can't wait to skate there again.
