Shaw Skate Park — Attraction in Washington

Edit: The park had been completely rebuilt in concrete now. Plenty of features at varying heights to suit both beginners/pros/old farts and a really fun bowl in the corner. There's pretty much everything you need here, from the fundamentals to some more quirky unique things (red slappy curb!)

There is a bit of a crossroads in the middle of the park that can get quite hectic when it's busy. I wouldn't want to skate here when the kids have finished school.

The level of skating by the locals here is ridiculous. Feels like a demo going down whenever I'm there. If you're in the area and need anything then Crushed Skateshop is the place, a 10 minute skate away 👍

It's a cool park. Pretty small, great for street skating. Has one small bowl that's great for beginners to learn how to pump and drop in. Good park for taking it easy and not doing to much extreme stuff. I went at 2:30pm for lunch and it wasn't too busy, maybe a dozen people. I was able to find a parking spot right next to it. My only critique is the floor around the bowl is very uneven. And I wish the hours were posted since it is a gated park with lights. Overall, great park. If you find yourself in DC, you...

only con is that it gets freaking crowded and it ain't big at all, the place is well maintained although there ain't many modules either, but the atmosphere really rocks, rather skate here than a big cool skatepark with boring semi-pro/helmeted-noobs atmosphere, and some locals really shred...
