Misc: This park was a big surprise for us, why hadn't we heard of it before?! The transistions of this park are like butter! You gotta skate this one. Beware of the tots using it's fast slopes as super-slides. A rocky porta-potty at the nearby playground. A beautifully mosaic-tiled drinking fountain (Medford skatepark type tiling), a trick to using the fountain: depress the button and wait for a minute before the water finally arrives. No place for spectators to plop their buns. Parking limited, park on Hunter Ave., on the North side of the street. No payphone.
