Heaven Skatepark — Attraction in Hartford

Dope skate spot, nice size ramps for beginners and novice skaters as well as having a little something for everyone, but I found the park to be perfect for someone starting out, there's no bowl or like six foot half pipes or nothing, highest transition is probably like 3 or 4 feet. It's an all concrete park with graffiti decorating almost every inch of the park which makes for a really awesome spot to take pictures. I paid for parking at a meter at first cos the lot across the road usually used for dunkin doughnuts park was closed during the time that I visited the skate park but I realized afterwards that you can pull into the skate park and park at the entrance as long as it's not to crowded and you become blocked in but from what I can tell the park is not that popular, whether Hartford just doesn't have a skate culture or something there was only a few people there during the two hours I spent at the park.

I don’t know how else to get the attention of this skatepark. I’ve messaged them, no response.

These guys are absolutely downright disrespectful to people living in the apartments across the street. They blast music every weekend, with a speaker directly pointed at the apartments. To say these guys are entitled would be an understatement.

No one wants to hear your music. No one cares about your skating and graffiti, except for the people that actively engage in it. You’re torturing everyone else for your own enjoyment. Where’s my right to “peaceful and quiet,” enjoyment of my apartment? Apparently it’s not as important as you blasting music as loud as humanly possible. My apartment was shaking two...

While touring Downtown Hartford, I came across this colorful area that has been heavily tagged with graffiti. Apparently, it's a skate park and open graffiti area. The skate park itself is quite small with just a few small shapes (all colorfully tagged). I think the more popular activity is the graffiti art. There are plenty of space to work with and it seems that the city encourages people to express their creativity in this safe environment. Great space for unique background to take...
