Apache Junction Skate Park — Attraction in Apache Junction

Okay I actually love this place, but it’s not perfect. I’ve been to almost every single skate park in Phoenix and this one is in my top 3.

The good:

The people I encountered there were friendly and nice, I wouldn’t mind to go back, just a bummer that some areas are in need of repair or smoothing out. If they did that, I would definitely enjoy it a lot more and rate it higher. Plus visit more...

Eh, I wouldn’t recommend visiting this park at night. Reason being, I’ve seen a couple of homeless individuals here at night. Hence, doesn’t make for a safe environment (especially for children). Oliver (puppy) and I enjoyed a puppy play date here during the day. This being mentioned, Apache Junction Skatepark is preferred during the day. To add, this park is infested w/ litter. Maybe, refrain from visiting this park at night to avoid homeless individuals, avoid the smelling of recreational drugs to ensure a...
