Helmets: Required but not enforced.
Bikes: Nothing saying otherwise.
Supervised: There is a park host that lives in a trailer very near the "skate court," I'm not sure just how much this person is involved with supervising the "skate court". They didn't enforce the helmet rule when we were here.

Misc: Oh dear. Whoever built this park made a nice effort but unfortunately seems to have known nothing about skateboarding. Things are weird proportions, way too angular and laid out un-skateably. There were restrooms and a drinking fountain nearby. No payphone visible.
