3rd Lair SkatePark - Golden Valley, Minnesota, U.S.A.

3rd Lair Skatepark is definitely a top notch skatepark and one of the funnest parks in Minnesota. Being indoors is real nice for the cold Minnesota winters. The park has a great street course with lots of ledges and rails. It's all masonite and good fun.

The bowl is about 8 feet deep in the deep end and 4 feet in the shallow with metal coping the whole way around. It's not a vert bowl but the two subtle hips between deep and shallow are totally workable.

In a separate room of the main room, there's a nice little miniramp. I think there's some portable stuff out in the parking lot too. There's also a stocked pro shop a few video games, and friendly staff to help you out if you need anything. This skatepark was previously located in Minneapolis before moving to this converted hockey rink in Golden Valley,
