First Impressions: Loveland Sports Park Skatepark

When we first got here I was excited to check it out. From the parking lot you can see the ramps and you notice the two large roller hockey rinks.

Pros: Street section with modular ramps is good, and there is a bowl.

Cons: Very little flow here.

Know Before You Go: The Sports Park Skatepark is located within the Loveland Sports Park. Some of the park’s other amenities include: covered picnic areas, grills, splash park, playground, athletic fields, basketball and sand volleyball courts, and hockey rinks. Loveland sports park is open 6-10:30pm but there are no lights at the skatepark.

Riders Thoughts:

The Loveland Sports Complex Skatepark is a pretty simple skatepark separated into three different areas. The first area is just a flat open cement area for flat ground tricks. This area is separated from the modular ramp area by some big boulders on the sidewalk. The street section has a good amount of modular ramps on both sides as well as in the middle.

In the center of the street section of the Sports Park Skatepark riders will find a pyramid box, rails, and ledges. Along the side of the street area riders will find a variety of quarter pipes and walls as well as a large concrete stair set that leads up to the bowl section of the skatepark.

Up the stairs riders will find a pretty big bowl with a really unique shape. The bowl features two long shallow pockets that transition into two more deeper round pockets. At this transition the bowl kind of goes from beginner mode straight to expert mode… which can be kind of difficult to skate. This part gets difficult because the drops into the round pockets are extremely steep and the turns are very tight which kind of cause you to get stuck. The deepest of the pockets also has an unavoidable ledge that pros can utilize, but will just get in the way of most skaters trying to use this bowl.

Shred it Later – Pin it Now

The large bowl does have its perks though. There are two different roll in areas as well as coping and a spine. The bowl does have some flow to it, but the lines are limited if you can’t skate the deep round pockets.

Riders will find a few different boxes and ledges around the park. I thought these two were pretty cool because of the “S” curve and the gap between these boxes.

If you’re a street skater and you like modular ramps then you will enjoy this park. But if you’re a big vert skater you might find this park frustrating. Beginners can definitely learn some things here on both sides of the park, but I found it hard to stay at this skatepark very long.
