Dinky skateparks :-(
Seems like the closest and free skatepark that is open before 3pm (I work tonight or have night classes) is this one 5 miles away. Why are all the skateparks by me made for 5 year olds that just want to do ledges? What can I do to make this more fun? Until my classes are over and working more hours, can afford time/money for long hauls or paid parks. Unless someone wants to write my paper lol, I dont have a 2 hr. window right now just for driving.

I might join this one instead. Its 7 miles away but its SMOOTH concrete and there is a flow to it with corners. It doesnt open til 3 on weekdays until school is out but the other skatepark I tried was geared towards a bike really. Lots of ramps to boxes and launches. The halfpipe was 4 1/2 feet with almost 10 feet between so hard to get a good speed going. It was kinda boring and rattly. I will be out of school in about a month so its not much longer til I have evenings.

 The only two parks I go to are 9.42 miles away and 13.38 miles away. The closest park to me is way too small and designed towards small skateboard street skating. Hardly any ramps, and what ramps they do have are REALLY small.

A good skate park is worth the trip.

It is but money means I have limited miles/insurance on my car and tight on time now too. I work and take classes. So the only option is skating a couple times a month then now.

I guess I can join that one 7 miles away as if I just want to spin a bit, I can go to the free one next to college before class. I just love concrete and hips. At least that has it and school will be over in a month.

 Talked to my friend and he said if all I can afford is to ride my uni, then just do that for now. They charge $50 for the 2009 season and are closed at 7:30 pm and whenever it looks like it might rain.

I still want to skate! So just jump curbs, join the lame park across the street which is only $25 for a full year AFTER I join and will reopen once the park dries or opinions? I'm sorry I'm broke so cant spend money on entrance fees and driving. I am working extra for gear at my job now but will ask if I can work to skate there too.

The one across the street is just $25 for the full year. The only free one is extremely boring and is 6 miles away so with the cost of transportation, this is also cheapier. 1 mile is cool!!
