This is a park in the center of downtown, which has smooth ledges that increase in size. The small ones are great for practicing ollies or doing big ups on. I learned boardslides on these ledges. I find it fun to skate where there is a lot of activity, and this part of the city is bustling. There are usually people walking on the sidewalks on the surrounding streets, but rarely in the park.
The tiled ground is smooth and with the scenery and setup is a perfect flatground spot.
The statue of President James Garfield is a high two stair. The run up to the stairs is curvy, but makes for a very stylish trick.
I have been asked to leave by a Segway cop, but have been here many times where cops just drive by and don't mind. I've employed the T-Rex defense successfully here; cops can't see you if you don't move. So when a cop comes by, sit down on a ledge, they'll move on, and you can keep skating.
This spot also serves as a jet stream to quickly traverse the interior of the city.
LOCATION: Downtown, the corner of Garfield Place and Vine Street.
