Elements
Ashland Skate Park features two quarter pipes with decks at the northern and southern ends, two adjoining funboxes (double-ended ramps with intermediate flat tops) in the center, a split-level box on the western edge, a box on the eastern edge, and a curved flat rail in the northeast corner of the park. The skatepark’s oblong concrete slab, with a longer north-to-south dimension, is set at a very slight incline, sloping lightly downward from the southern to the northern end (though visually nearly imperceptible). The east half of the concrete slab is noticeably rougher, while the west half is palpably smoother and thus faster, affording skaters the opportunity to experience skating on both types of concrete surface.
