Great local skatepark, pros are very friendly helpful staff, plenty of parking and willingness it seems to work with the community.
Cons as it stands at the writing of this are that the layout is designed almost solely for bikes making skate nights fun but also limiting. The mini ramp is split in two levels meaning you cannot grind it properly or skate it as a mini ramp, the jump box section takes up the majority of the park and is huge, so go big or ignore a large section of the park, the majority ignore it. There is a central section of the park thats got a couple boxes but the coping box is set so far in it might as well be a square ledge.
