Skatepark - West Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

7/29/2009

Street Plaza with 3/4 capsule bowl, rails, stairs, fun box, picnic table, pump bump and quarter pipes.

This is a relatively new park hidden in back of a large parks and recreation complex, located across the lot from the maintenance building. Very small in square footage, so the crash up derby factor is high. Excellent construction, super smooth crete with very narrow seems. Transitions in the capsule are consistent and mellow with no vert. They put mulch and a gravel right up to the slab so bring a broom and give it a good sweep before your session. Another negative is there is no shade and the sun really cooks in the morning.
