Hohokam Skatepark in Maricopa, Arizona
Maricopa, Arizona is home to two different skateparks, the cement Copper Sky Skatepark and the modular Hohokam Skatepark. Usually a modular type of skatepark primarily targets a street style of skating, but this particular skatepark has large ramps, a unique layout, a number of smooth transitions and some great banked turns. And it's surprisingly good for riding a longboard in a skatepark. Hohokam Skatepark will entertain expert skaters as well as beginners.
