They seem to be one or two in every town these days. Lately ive been hitting up Mountain view, Santa cruz's new park, and Sunnyvale's park. I remember when my hometown got their first park in the 90's it was so awesome, but today its nothing in comparison to the new parks popping up everywhere. Post some pics of the parks that you skate here if you want. It would be cool to see what everyone else is skating.

Mountain view is all steel ramps. ive never rode steel before..its more fun than you'd expect. its a real small park but i still have a lot of fun when i go there:

Santa cruz is amazing. They really got it right.. I hope more new parks are as well thought out as this one is. the full pipe and swimming pool are epic!:

Sunnyvale is a lot of fun. lots of room to flow around, but damn it gets packed sometimes:

I <3 Concrete Parks, but the one around here sucks. We got a couple parks here, I'll get some pics tonight.

Chris, my steel park is smaller than your steel park! But I will agree, they are always fun.

Fairfield

But now its closed for winter.

So I have to skate this "hybrid" park.

Which this kid makes look fun, but its not. He's just good.

SO, we often travel a couple hours to Fort Wayne to skate this.

Which is currently my favorite park to skate.

So fun! If it isn't busy, you can just flow through the whole park without pushing once. Love it.

we have one and Tallahasse and it isn't the best only been a few times. it is cement and I don't have pics. It has been in a couple skate films along with some rails and stair sets. Anyone near Tallahassee come to Lincoln High School and youl find some nice stuff to ride. Im not good enough to be riding some of the stuff but looks cool when you think a pro skateboarder rode that rail.
