PLG Skatepark — Attraction in Mount Washington

This skatepark is pretty new, very nice, and super needed due to no other skate parks being located within 10 miles. It's free to visit and is open from dusk til dawn. It's not a huge park, but has everything that is essential for a good extreme park. There's medium sized bowl for people who prefer to ride the pipes. There's also a nice transition section featuring roll in ramps, quarter pipes, rails, benches and a sweet spot for wall plants. I believe this would technically be slightly geared towards bmx riders, as I believe the person the park's named after was a bmx rider; however, skateboarders shred there regularly. As opposed to the downtown Louisville skate park, I would say this is a much more family oriented park. It sits beside a picnic gazebo and some baseball fields behind a school, so there's almost a guarantee to be kids and at least one supervising adult around whenever you visit. It definitely lacks some of the raw aspects of skating that you may see in other parks. This factor is sometimes a buzzkill, as young kids out in the counties usually dont understand skate park etiquette, and of course when there are more kids that automatically means there are more scooters. The good thing is you can often find the park nearly empty, giving you plenty of unimpeded space to practice. All in all, this is a spectacular...

It's a ok skate park on Google it says it's open till 2 hours past dark but when you go to the park a hour before it closes and at the gate of the park it says "park closes at dark" but doesn't have a gate also if you try to skate here at night theres no lights for the ramps at all so its pitch black but at least they do have a skate park...

Went today (Saturday) to check out this park and was well surprised. I live 1 mile from the dave Armstrong park in Louisville and wanted to skate something new. The park was clean and well maintained. The park is really fast and has some cool lines. Big ups to the city of Mt. WASHINGTON! You guys did it rite! Will be back to enjoy...
