New Lombard Skatepark
So, it's pretty much a piece of garbage, and one of the smallest parks I've ever been to, but it's still kind of fun.
There's a rock, for some reason, and a fake barrier thing (I think it's the same one they have at Carol Stream).
The mini ramp is absolutely the worst I've ever skated. The seams between the deck and transition pieces is so harsh that it makes the ramp virtually useless. It's as bad or worse than the Schaumburg bowl.
There's a really crappy pyramid that is incredibly awkward to skate. The flat bars and fake pole jam thing are fun.
I was told that the park district might open up the empty tennis court next to the park and let people build their own stuff there. That would transform this place from terrible to potentially interesting. Go for the rock, stay for the local troll watching.
