I like the place, it is smaller than the last one and can get crowded, but for it being indoor and in a mall it's pretty sweet. They did a good job packing in as much as they could with the space they have. All the riders and staff were friendly. I rode scooter and bike there. The ramps have good flow and smooth transitions. It has street and park features. I would recommend that you have enough experience to know how to ride when you ride (not cut other riders off, know how to stop quickly, and watch were you going. Basically no little kids who just got a brand new thing to ride that they have never ridden before.) I don't know what Tayler Sliverman's problem is, but he the employees aren't trying to push anything on anyone. The do offer a Bible study on Sunday so you can have a free session. I don't understand why that would be so bad. When I was there, none of the employees said anything about religion, they were out riding as well. From what I remember, the people skate too Taylor. There is no reason this place...
Read moreI’ve been skateboarding for nearly two decades and have skated 100’s of parks.I always find it funny over the years when kids say that the skatepark where their at gets boring.

For the size of the Battleground park the builders did a great job of fitting a good veriety of obsticals into it and it flows very nice. In my opinion Battleground quite possibly has the best miniramp in south west Michigan! It’s super smooth and fun! Being indoors makes it one of the top places I like to spend time during our cold/snowy Michigan Winters. Very cheep...
Read moreIt's small (smaller than the previous location) and completely flooded with scooter kids. So badly that I would consider it a safety hazard. Park etiquette does not exist here. Might be nice for Battle Creek locals but even then I'm not sure it's worth it. Save your money and go to Skatezoo where no scooters or kids are allowed. Staff here is seemingly friendly but expect to be asked "Where are you at with your faith?". They are hardcore bible thumpers and bribe kids into bible studies for free skate sessions. Just something for parents to be aware of. An employee verbally expressed to me that they make their money off scooters and the owners are scooter kids parents. I believe skaters should support skateparks...
