Butte Berkeley Bowl - Butte, Montana, U.S.A.

(9/22/2006) The Butte skatepark is probably less than 6,000 feet, but has two great bowls, and an interesting flow area, with some street features as well. Another Dreamland gem. The flow area is perfect for beginners of all ages, nice mellow banks and hips.

The kidney bowl is probably around 8 foot deep, and has a fairly tight shallow end. Some will be attracted to this bowl, because of it's size and shape, and the fact that it has pool coping. Others might be attracted to the "L" shaped bowl, which also has pool coping, plus it has a huge bank wall for that extra speedy feeling. It also features a love seat. But the feature that you don't find too often is the nearly 12 foot deepend. The "L" shaped bowl seemed almost intuitive to skate. The faster I went, the more fun I had. Each wall sends you to the next and so on.

Beautiful bowls! This place is rad! Free, no pads, the only downfall is the poor excuse for a street course. - mbader
