1) The park is like a mix of Santa Rosa and Yuba city. It has a 8 foot bowl, a snake run which is 4 foot in the shallow end winding down into a 6 foot bowl. It has a four foot tall pyramid and plenty of other weird lumpy cement things to make tricks up on. Cops will give you a ticket for no elbow pads, but you can sit and drink all day out front and never get hassled. Definitely a park to stop on if your on your way to Oregon via the 101.

2) The hippies that put this together must have had no idea how to make a good tranny because every bowl is bumpy and uneven, and each tranny is different. If you're gonna be around long enough to get good at the park it's cool, but if you're just stopping by for the day it might be a little weird. I can't do much there but some of the locals can kill it, so if you like gnarly crappy bowls then go for it I'll be moving there soon so I'm gonna have to get used to it.

3) Snake run, bowl, metal coping, surrounding ledges, funbox, cross between Yuba City and Santa Rosa
