Ankeny, IA Skatepark

Pics & Review by The Chraveler / Submit your Park Here!
Ankeny AKA Jankeny! Built by someone who has obviously never built a skatepark before, it's chock full of complete inexperience in design, yet because of skateboarding's nature, there are still hits to find and a few lines as well to jack around on. The street course features a steep steep handrail and ledge that run straight into the ground that you can smash your teeth out with, and a third that brilliantly runs out into the grass at the edge of the park. Some kid there was attempting them with soapshoes. The trannies on the street quarterpipes are really tight, and the spine has two teardrop hips on the end that are somewhat workable. There is also a 6-footish keyhole bowl that is mellow but fun, and the channel flows out onto the street zone. Free, no pads, open dawn to dusk.







handrail to grass stains	these weren't so bad


this spiner QP was fun	you go first
