The Boogie Bowl was designed to provide a challenge to all skaters. The "Big Bowl" is 82' by 40' and provides a pool type ride. The "Boogie Bowl" begins with a snake run, adds a 12' vertical wall, and empties into a 25' diameter bowl. The half pipe drops 15 degrees to bottom and then curves into a 20' diameter bowl. The freestyle area is 30' by 60', with a 6' grade on two sides.

The $4.00 annual fee includes a personalized, numbered membership card, a park sticker, and you will have your name included on the mailing list to receive the newsletter of special upcoming events. The admission price is $1.00 per hour, with a two-hour minimum. The sessions start every half hour and all required safety gear may be rented in the pro shop for 25 cents per item.
