Rhodes Skate Park

The skate park was born in 1992 when Glenn Rhodes got the idea to find a place for skaters to skate because all the places downtown were running the kids off. So with the help of some local skating kids he went out and found a good place. Like a lot of other cities they found a nice place under a free way. Other cities that came up with similar ideas include Philidelphia, Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland.

In this case though, they added restrooms, and a basketball court. Rhodes spent two years coordinating it all. Other then hanging out with bums, its a cool park.

Features:

• Skate park under the freeways
• Wood and metal ramps
• 6; halfpiupe
• 6' and 4' Quaterpipes
• Grind Box
• Ledges
• Safety gear strongly recommeded
• "you get to hang out with bums"
• Awesome in the summer because it's in the shade
