iliketoboard - i have some questions please a

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

curios789 - I'm doing a video for a digita

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1skyler - it gets kinda crowded but if you get there early the place is practilly yours

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason Shrack - I dislocated my ankle and broke my leg within about 5 minutes of arriving at this park. I was fun while I was there, though

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

midnight office - I agree that this park is not flawless but a big improvement over 31st. Great for launching and some other good lines. Hard to get up speed for the rail or the manual box. And if you wipe out like I do, the wrought iron fences will take years off the life of your deck. Great bowl, and I also agree that most of the terrain is set up for a more advanced sk8er. It can get real crowded, and even when it's not, some mom will drop off kids on scooters.

kingkiller - its a gr8t sk8 park and im up for a vid or so


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

t-ball - I'm a video producer looking for skateboarders to participate in an educational DVD. Anyone taking? Send me an e-mail tracy_ullman@yahoo.com.

grindtolipslide - It has lights! My only biased opinion of this skatepark is that I can see it from my balcony window and get there in about a minute. I love that it is close, but the layout was poorly planned. The bowls were poured well. I am happy to not be riding a truride product! The metal rail and table are in an akward place. The cops will kick you out after 10. The coping at this park grind/slides well. Not too bad. Hey- it has lights!

zachmcgee - cool skatepark!!!

ianoid - Oh, does Chicago need more concrete parks. Wilson is esteemed heavily by the locals, but I just can't come to admit that it's all that. There are alot of lines, although it could use a few trannys on either end of the street area to make or retain speed. It's got a good variety of terrain, including a large 6' bowl area with islands and corners, and a full vert deep bowl with shallow end. The steet area is fun, although it is slopey and it has design flaws. I've seen other concrete parks do more with less space, street area wise.

Definitely worth checking out, although imperfect. It's located just east of Lakeshore drive. There is a snack shop with drinks.

Not a great place for noobs, to answer a previous question. Try numerous suburban truride ramp parks if you're just starting out.
