There are a bunch of railings around the bowls to heard potential crowds for EXTREME events. So if you are on one side of the park you have to hop a little railing to get across the park. Yeah, the full pipe, pool, and keyhole are all nice. The street bank area is kinda whatever. The monolith/cradle bowl is akward, but fun. The thimble is deadly. The full pipe will be sketchy when it's crowded with little kids who don't pay attention. Personally, I still like NW parks a lot better. If you're stoked on Santa Cruz and Pacifica you'll like the park. If, like puke said, you have issues with Wormhoudt parks, then it's still a wormhoudt. It's good, but the whole situaution semi-totally blown out of proportion</p> The “wasted space” is the festival area.

Do you have to pay to use the city’s baseball diamonds and tennis courts in San Jose? You probably do have to pay to swim at the municipal swimming pool. Two dollars a day is pretty cheap.</p> Dang, look at that big wall. Do you have to pay to use the city’s baseball diamonds and tennis courts in San Jose?

It's a public outdoor Park.</p> I aint takin transit there, or parking my car at eastridge and riding my bike, or paying 6 dollars to park, or taking a boat…just to pay another fee to fully pad up and skate a Wormhoudt park.

The bikes lasted only about 5 or 6 weeks at the Goodyear, AZ park when it first opened because they couldn't figure it out. GY is much smaller than SJ and it is has a full time monitor as well. Didn't stop the bikers so now they have one less park to ride.
