An hour (or two in traffic) SW of Chicago, but they call it a suburb. In NYC, we call that Connecticut. Anyway, Tinley park has the Chicago areas newest indoor park, and it's pretty fun.

The street area is awesome, layout and flow, lots of boxes, slides, slopes, wallride ramps, etc..

The bowl is pretty fun too. It is only 6 feet deep, but it has a hip and a 70 degree corner, as well as an escalator up and down another 6 inches around a corner. It is built by Plywood Benders, and apparrently they know what they are doing. It was not very big, but big and steep enough to blast over the hip in either direction (unlike that supermellow hip in Berkeley CA). Most of the guys there skate it like a mini ramp but they should learn eventually that there are corners.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it is one of the best in the area, but it is in the top 4. As a matter of a fact, my preferences for the Chicago area are as follows and in this order: Wilson Beach/Chicago, Whiting/Indiana, 4Seasons/Milwaukee, Tinley Park/Illinois... and the other crap if you're extremely bored, or content with skating on asphalt with ramptech garbage.

Cost: $10
