Parker Skatepark (or Twenty Miles Skatepark or Rail Bender Skatepark)
Posted in Colorado Skateparks on November 19th, 2008 by corpoThis park has it all. Riley and I headed there on his last day of skating in Colorado before moving to Sioux Falls. It was November 17 and it was almost 70 degrees. Sick! These photos were all taken right after we got there before it got crowded.CLICK ANY PHOTO TO SEE A LARGER VERSION OF THE PHOTO!!!This little mini bowl is sick. It’s perfect for beginners and even fun for people like Riley. The tranny is really mellow.This little manual pad is the bomb! And yes it’s as low as it looks in the photo.Pier 7 replica. Although it’s taller and narrower then the original it’s still sick.Riley modeling the bank to ledge with a back tail. It’s a bit weirder to hit then I would have thought, but still really good.Riley fell in love with that rail. It’s a long 5 stair. Riley says the rail is perfect. I’ll take his word for it.At the top of the park is a fun little volcano thing. I found it hard to get speed for, but it’s a good way to make something skateable in the middle of the park that takes up little space.No one skated this all day. The rail looks pretty low.There is a little 3 foot quarterpipe that just plain rules.No one really skated this hip all day either. It’s pretty steep and the crash up factor with people skating the three foot quarterpipe is pretty high. Riley ollied the bench into it though.Practice your Zero lines here kiddies.This park has so many options to skate it’s ridiculous. On the very left there is a flat bar too.Panorama attempt number 1 of the bowl.Attempt number 2. No idea why the colors are different on every picture when I just stood there and took all three within seconds. Oh well. The bowl is fun, a bit gnarly, but fun. The steep bank wall is gnarls.More bowl.A horrible photo of a sick idea. A Colorado flag quarterpipe. Every team that comes though CO is going to try and get a photo on that.Trick number 1 out of 20 for Riley on his new favorite rail.Driving directions:I-25 to Lincoln Ave (Exit 193)Go East on LincolnRight on Twenty Mile RoadThe skatepark is up on the right after Plaza DrGoogle Map it.Report any problems at the skatepark by calling Parker Parks & Recreation at 303-841-0353.
