McKoy Skatepark — Attraction in Decatur

Not sure why this is considered a 4.3 skatepark (parent reviews ... ._. )

Let's see, for starters, they think it's a good idea to build wood structures without a roof to block weather ._. I mean sure wood can be treated to be weather resistant but,

Everything is old.

One of the ramps has a huge broken hole in it

Whoever put it together said "yes let's make all four ramps connect in a square, we'll add a rail here and here, and a box over there. And done"

Ah yes, the old "let's hire people with no skating experience, and let's give them no money."

Oh and parents, don't review skateparks. If you don't skate or know what's going on then leave it to people who know what makes a park good or bad, ok? If you give bad parks positive reviews they are gonna make the same mistakes again.

There are parks with broken concrete that the city sometimes refuses to properly fix in an effort to save money, simply because nobody...

I really love this skatepark, it has a good atmosphere and really nice ramps, the only issue I have is the parent that bring there little kids with mountain bikes, hoverboards or even nothing at all.

One last thing though, there should be an age requirement because little kids get in the way and end up just getting hurt. But overall it’s a...

UPDATE: APRIL 2024

Ok they renovated this place and it's pretty dope now. Still gets puddles in one spot, but there ain't much to complain about! 4 stars, def recommend.

Multiple weather-beaten, unusable ramps, and spots that collect enough water that it's still puddled a day after the rain. Can't emphasize enough how much this park needs renovation. I'll skate there from time to time since I'm a beginner and it's got some easy elements, but it's really lacking overall. Like, just fixing the super broken ramp in the middle so it can actually be used would be a huge improvement. I'm giving it one star partly because as other reviewers have mentioned this should not have such a...
