Fairmont is a great park. There is a good street area which includes two nice handrails, banks, ledges, hips, a step up, a hubba and a 6 ft. quarter pipe next to a flat bank roll-in. The street area is ideal for all levels of ability, and the banked section provides a perfect introduction to transition skating for beginners. Fairmonts real asset is its vert terrain, which caters to higher end transition skating. It has a large vert bowl complex which begins at one end as a 6 ft. half pipe, and then snakes its way into an 8 ft. deep round bowl at the other end. The entire bowl complex is lined with nice metal coping, and has an infinite number of lines to ride- Good for hours of nonstop carving, grinding and pumping fun. Next to the main bowl complex is a peanut-shaped, pool-like bowl that has a 5 ft. deep, round, shallow end which runs into a 10 ft. deep, square-cornered deep end. Again, the bowl is lined with nice metal coping. This "Peanut Bowl" is the real deal, and it is easy to generate speed in the "scary fast" zone while skating it. This is a really good bowl, but it could have been a great bowl if the deep end was round instead of squared. Unfortunately Fairmont does not yet have lights for night skating, but there is hope that the City Council will approve lighting for next year.
