The Indianapolis public skatepark is on the same property as the Major Taylor Velodrome - thus, it is typically referred to as Major Taylor Skatepark. Its located south of 38th Street on Cold Spring Rd. On Indianapolis near west side, it is also visible from (but, not easily accessible to) I-65.
Major Taylor is a medium-sized, concrete skatepark that is most like a broken-up bowl, with random street elements thrown in between. It features:
- - An L-shaped halfpipe that ranges between 5ft. and 6ft. tall (with escalating coping);
- - Two very long and tall, down-sloping ledges;
- - A 5ft. tall island;
- - A 4ft. tall spined quarterpipe;
- - Several small hips and bowled corners;
- - A 5-stair with an hubba on one side, and a straight ledge on the other;
- - A curved ledge, and an up-and-down kinked, large-coping handrail;
- - A standard, 15in. tall handrail,
- - Several pump bumps
- - Two large flat banks, about 5ft. tall,
- - Two mellow quarterpipes, about 5ft. tall,
- - A very wide, 7ft. tall quarterpipe,
- - A very long manual pad (flat banks up and down)
- - A flat-to-slope box/manual pad.
The skatepark is regularly re-painted, due to almost constant tagging. The coping has a 6in. steel tile area welded onto it, on all of the transitions, to minimize peg damage from bikes.
The park is best skated on weekday mornings, as afternoon and weekend crowds can get pretty out of hand. The park is only open from dawn to dusk, but lights at the park actually allow for 24/7 skating most of the time. -Bud Stratford
