Description
As any street rider will tell you, you don't need much to have a good ride. All you need is the smallest little thing to have fun on... one ledge... one raised sidewalk... a driveway curb... one dirt jump... a picnic table... or just one little ramp. That's all it takes to have hours, days, or even years of fun on, being creative, figuring out just how many tricks you can do on one thing, going off on tech, thinking with a fresh, or even psychotic mind... working it for all it's worth. So just because something is small, doesn't mean it can't be fun.

The free city skatepark in McKinley Park, up on the hills behind the Sou' Side of Pittsburgh, is just like that - small, but totally fun. And that the city recently removed the skate-only restrictions at the skatepark makes it all the better (this was more than likely due to budget problems, unable to pay the lady who guarded the place to keep riders out, or maybe they just got smart and realized keeping riders out was just unfair).

McKinley Park is is situated up on Bausman Street, which includes a track & field area, tennis courts, and in about the space of a tennis court or two, a small skatepark. It has a nice simple 4-1/2 foot mini, with a big mild transition, with a 2 foot deck on one side, and the other deck leading to a long wedge to the street course. There's also a basic 2-foot tall 6 foot-wide subbox on one side of the mini, that is also available from the street side. On that other side, the street side, it starts with the wedge on the right (looking down), the subbox with book-end ramps in the middle, with a center ramp as well launching you to the sub-box or whatever, as well as a 4-foot quarter on the left side.

Small. It's an ok park. 5' halfpipe, tabletop with rails, box, rails, some 1/4 pipes. It's made of metal.
