Mis: The Skaters I brought really liked the park, they said it was a lot of fun, had good rhythm, good speed, and you could roll into everything. St. Helens being a small town, you may encouter trouble with tots on trikes, loose dogs and some naitivity to skateboarding etiquette. Nice clean restrooms usually accessible, but occasionally locked. If locked, there are restrooms in a nearby library. There wasn't really any place to sit, no picnic tables. The drinking fountain may be seasonal.
