The skatepark in Louisville, Colorado also features a smaller stand alone bowl. This bowl is bean shaped and similar to a classic pool. The bowl is lined in coping and has a shallow and a deeper side.

The Louisville Skatepark is a pretty good skatepark and I think most skateboarders and scooters will have a fun time at this park regardless of skill level. The park was lacking a great flow for the longboard, but there is a good hill that goes from the rec center down to the skatepark that was pretty fun.
