Super bowl time
This skatepark is reminiscent of those days when pioneer skaters started to hone their skills in the empty pools of the suburbs. Leonard Linton Park includes a great U-shape bowl with an ambitious deep end and a separate section with ramps and stairs. A paved path links it all for a nice flow. And it is covered with ever-evolving graffiti. Younger kids should try to go early. I know brave ones (with a very loving dad) who show up at 7 a.m. on the weekends, before the teenagers take over.
