Dirt Jump Track, Has a lot of little kids on x-games moto-X (no moter) bikes, but it has nice banks and pipes. Street course for bikers too.
Nice park, a bit slick, and kinda slummy if you go around downtown at night.
Nice park, Great Transitions, and pretty biker friendly.

Pros:
All concrete;
Rails are a good size;
Ledges are a nice height;
Ledges have metal edges;
Coping is smooth.

Cons:
All lines in the bowls intersect;
Not enough space to get speed for some elements;
Ledges are narrow, so if you miss the edge you fall;
Most ledges have high drops on at least one side, so if you fall you'll get hurt;
Transitions are too quick.
Ride the bike trail till you see robinson bricks and the electric company there is a gap between the to companies there are dirt jumps in there.
Sometimes BMX Friendly, Smooth bowls.

The X-Court, currently being built at
83rd Avenue and Bethany Home Road, will be a no-fee, 26,000-square-foot, concrete multi-use (bikes, boards, blades) facility. Site Design Group, a leader in skate park design, created a facility that will provide challenges for skaters and bikers of various skill levels. The prefect balance of bowls, banks, transitions and street components make the design fun and wide open for both bikes and boards.

From the basic Ollie or Bunnyhop to perfecting the 9-foot bowl, there is no doubt the X-Court will be an exciting place for all of us to meet new friends and perfect our sport. This type of facility requires extra care and attention in its construction and California Skateparks, Inc., a well-known skate and BMX park construction company, is tending to those special needs.
