Memorial Park Skatepark - Nogales, Arizona, U.S.A.

  Nogales' skatepark is in Memorial Park, which is dominated by its baseball diamonds- namely the "War Memorial Stadium", which is the centerpiece of the whole park. The skatepark is on the far corner of the property, well out of sight of the baseball fields. The skatepark is made up of a lot of green-painted steel obstacles... including a 3' tall, 20' wide steel mini ramp... all set on a smooth, concrete slab. it would take a small book to describe all of the strange and unusual obstacles here; suffice to say that they do not appear to have been "professionally built"; they are all flawed in some small, but significant way (kinks at the bottom of quarterpipes, uneven transitions, and questionable basic design being the most common)... but it's not a total fail, there is fun to be had here. The mini ramp is extremely well-done, smooth and kink-free, and the perfect height for all-ages-and-abilities trickery. This park might well have been designed with BMX bikes in mind... that would explain some of the park's weirder quirks... but if mini-ramps are your sort of thing, this park might be a contender well worth a drive. It has lights (God only knows if they work), ample parking, and a nearby shade tree to rest and relax mid-session. -Bud Stratford, Everything Skateboarding/Concrete Disciples.
