It features a flow bowl with a spine ramp, a street plaza with flow features, banks and transition ramps, a street plaza a-frame with gap and rail features, a signature mid-city ramp feature, beginner gap, rail, stair and ledge features, and backyard style pool; it also includes urban elements such as railings, stairs, banks and ledges. The park has sports lighting, additional skate park lighting and ADA companion bench seating/observation areas.
The project design started in January 2007 with input from City Heights-Mid City community members, including several skateboard professionals. Construction started in the summer of 2016, and the grand opening was on Jan. 17, 2018.
