Extra Info
Nice little spot out in the 'burbs. Not huge, but a decent setup. Stairset with mellow ledges and a rail, brick bank with a little taco in the middle, baby hip, rail and ledge, and a itty bitty snake run perfect for the groms to get used to kicking and turning. Oh yeah, and there's like... A "pool" or something? Rad bowl, very much inspired by a kidney pool but with slightly less intimidating walls, regular coping, and a curved spine for a shallow end. While a bit steeper than a typical 3-7' bowl, still a lot more forgiving than some of the pools Grindline has blessed the northwest with.

Not a bad little square. Decent though smallish street features with a pool-bowl. Nothing too intimidating, but plenty of fun to be had. Nice little spot out in the 'burbs. Not huge, but a decent setup. Stairset with mellow ledges and a rail, brick bank with a little taco in the middle, baby hip, rail and ledge, and a itty bitty snake run perfect for the groms to get used to kicking and turning.

Really enjoyed the powl (pool shaped bowl?) but I have to admit I wish the spine was actually more deck to stand on. I really wanted to drop in opposite the big wall to get some good hits, but the lines aren't very hard to come up with to get you there anyway. Heard a couple dudes commenting on the steepness of the walls, but given what most pools are shaped like, this was really mellow. Quicker tranny than you're used to if you're used to Grindline's bigger offerings (Arlington, Lower Woodland, etc.) but easy enough for an old fat guy to have a good time with. The little snake run was a blast, too. Yet another park I wish I could have sessioned when I was young enough to rip, but man, blessed to have it nearby anyway.
