Allen Pond Park Skatepark - Bowie, Maryland, U.S.A.

The bowl is not for the faint of heart--very tight transitions in the shallow end (6' deep with a foot of vert), and the oververt takes up half the deep end. The quarterpipe/hip is pretty tall, and nothing else has coping, so overall it's not a great place to learn to skate transition. If you're already a pro, go for it.

Found this sliding-board-swing-set-combo on a recent road trip and when the kids clear out it you’d think it’s built to skate; tile the whole way around except for the over-vert, 5 ½ ft. in the shallow end. The street set up had a lazy kinda flow to it with a lot of fun rollers/pyramids, a 6 ft. hip on one end and a great Brooklyn bankish wall ride. The ranger asked if we had a membership (which I heard is $20 for life) but I just told him we were from Philly and he let us ride. Helmets, no lights but definitely worth the stop.
