I don't skateboard but I can see that the ones who do seem to be really enjoying themselves. It's not a bowl but a relatively flat area with added features, ramps and the like made of plywood. I go there for the ex-rollerrink which has been converted into 6 superb pickleball courts. Fresh surface, not a crack anywhere and lightly used most times. Clifton does charge a fee however; for the 2023 badge, it's $12.50 (resident) and $25 (non-resident). The badge is good for any of the three dedicated pickleball spots in the city of Clifton.

Great skatepark with great flow - half of the park is fort lee’s old park and they did a great job at Clifton in reorienting the place so that it flows well with all the features. Park is situated in the back of the complex - makes for privacy and also keeps the sound at bay so neighbors/folks in the area don’t complain about noise. Locals are friendly, cops don’t bother folks much, lots of shade in the summer and it’s situated a bit on a hill so you can get a nice breeze in the summer as well. One of the best parks in the area

Review is more for how this park is managed, not the park itself. The park itself looks like a lot of fun with a ton of variety. Mini ramp, bunch of ledges and rails of different sizes and shapes, stairs, other ramps. Apparently costs $1 for Clifton residents and $2 for non-residents. Also, apparently it's required to sign a waiver, which is fine, except they may not have any waivers for you to sign and you may waste your time going here like I did. Drove all the way there to be told I need a waiver but that they didn't have any and was turned away, so I'd suggest calling ahead to make sure. Really bad management. If you decide to come, the entrance is from 3rd street, not from the park.
