Erie Community Street League Skate Park

Looks and feels like a Street League park would. Very directional. Very symmetrical. I don't care much for the Street League design philosophy, because the symmetry means there's really only about half of a park to skate, but doubled. I'd prefer they use the space for variety, and instead design the obstacles to be symmetrical without adding two of everything. The north end of the park with the showpiece feature is cool looking, but unfortunately it is a giant stair set, which means all the traffic gets funneled to the side lanes and it can end up being really congested. It's a great feature, but since most riders won't touch it, it just ends up taking up space and limiting flow through the park. There's not a lot of variety to the features, mostly just ledges and straight banks. A hip and another rail or two would be nice. I understand why there's not much in terms of transition features - it's a street plaza after all. All that said, the features are well made and everything skates nicely. I enjoyed skating it, despite all those issues, but it could be really great if it had more variety and better traffic flow.

My kid loves this place... A lot. It can be crowded or empty, no way of knowing. People are mostly nice, not sketchy feeling. It's mostly smaller features and a bit more spread out, meant for street skating vs. getting air.

Great little park. Nothing is too big or crazy so it's a good place to start learning.
