Rebuilt in 2017 by Team Pain!

Notes from Team Pain:

"Two very constructive public input meetings were held to solicit the skate communities ideas. It was evident that the skaters wanted something unique which is what prompted us to design/build the Big O replica! Originally built in Montreal, Canada the Big O was a famous skate spot that had been worshiped by skateboarders ever since it was constructed in 1976 and to this day is considered to be one of North Americas most iconic skate spots! The park also features numerous different rails such as the bump to bar, A frame rail, and mini three stair rail as well as ledges, quarter pipes and banks surrounding the entire park. We also decided to add a snake run/ ditch area flowing through the middle of the park not too mention the eight foot tall bowl located in the South East end of the park. Since the skate parks Grand Opening on April 22nd, 2017 the park has been one of Colorado’s major hubs for skateboarders and even won the “2017 Best Skate Park Award” by the Denver Westword and we could’t be more stoked!"

Take this for what it is worth! I didn't get to ride it because of the snow and ice in it, but I had my friend pull off the highway to take a look. Team Pain is one of the best designer builder companies in the world and this is another Colorado gem!

Features:
-Tiny square flatbar that slides ok, but is uncomfortably short
-2' kicker ramp straight out of the 80s
-Tiny 1' funbox with round coping ledges, short down bar, drop on one side, ramp on the other
-Bigger 4' funbox with a decent quarter, steep bank, rusty stair set with short, steep handrail
-4' Quarter with bad, abrupt tranny at the bottom
-4' mini ramp with 6' extensions on the far end

This park is pretty bad. Everything is made of metal, which is mostly ok unless you're skating the mini ramp. When it's hot, the ramp becomes super sticky and will burn you if you touch it, so I advise wearing at least long pants to skate it. Lots of the other stuff is just rusty and old. The ledge doesn't slide so well, the stairs are very hard to skate, and the park has no flow. It is an excellent place to skate flat ground though.

Bottom line, why go here when you could go to Arvada 20 minutes away?
