Misc: A very nice park, the first time we visited, "The Best of the West" amateur skatebaord competion was there and the park was so packed, it was unskateable. We returned 2 days later, on our way home and my skaters were too tired to give the park a good shot. Too much? Hard to find a line? Stop in and see for yourself. Permanant restrooms, drinking fountain and a payphone.
