Arizona: Reed skatepark

[Steezeman]

In da hood yo! This place is in basically the worst part of Mesa, but luckily Mesa isn't really a bad place so it's not that bad. Scooters are allowed, as there are millions of little kids all over the place. Park itself is super big, consisting of a giant bowl with some obstacles inside it, another big bowl with a spine right in the middle, and a tiny little bowl that can barely be counted a bowl. It's a pretty good park, not that many different lines but that's your fault not the parks! Except for in this case where there really aren't that many lines. The various boxes are some of the most skated things by skaters, since they actually have coping unlike all the other ledges going down into the bowl. Not like many people would grind them, the smallest part of the big bowl area has a 10 stair going into it...

What you don't see is this giant bowl keeps going around to the left.

Big ol' spine in middle of bowl.

Tiny bowl.

[Steezeman]

It's right by Broadway and Gilbert, go West from that intersection, you'll see Big Bowl Chinese Food on the right, a school on the right, then a big park on the left and it's in there.

 

[silksimon]

i'll go sometime.

 

[Steezeman]

Mmk, hit me up when you go.

 

[Kenny O.]

was this that skatepark with the huge BMX protest?

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah, but there've been big BMX protests at a lot of Arizona skateparks, Freestone, Tempe, this one, and probably more.

 

[scooter4life]

that spine is sweet

 

[Steezeman]

The big or the little one? The little one's pretty chill but the big one is, well, big. I've only seen bladers jump it, it's kind of a bad set up.

Tiny bowl.

[Steezeman]

Haha yeah, it's fun to mess around in though, like jump in and fakie up to the other side.

 

[Dylan Kasson]

[rimroxxrailer]

dang that park looks kinda fun... its so wierdly open though like theres just open concrete space everywhere

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah man it's sooo open, there's a ton of flatbottom as you can tell haha.

 

[maxwell2121]

sometimes i go full speed just jomp off some of the quarter pipes and flat bottom lol

 

[Steezeman]

That's a pretty bad idea haha, I saw this blader trying to do that and he fell about a million times, I'd probably never do that.
