Issaquah has a few good things and a few bad things. If you like grinding and mini-ramp halfpipes, this is a nice place. If you like jumps, skip this place. It has a 3' mini into a spine with a platform that gives you quite a kick. The funbox has two square coping ledges and a grindable rail. For the longest time, I've been saying that the damn pyramid is unclearable, but I just finally took it a full speed and cleared the damn thing. The U-Bowl is somewhat mellow, but it is still nice for grinds. There are two hips (not any good for air). It's surrounded by dirt and trees, so if it has been raining within the past few days, it will probably be wet. This place sucks for air, but is fun for grinds, even though the coping is sticky in a few places.
Bathrooms: No
Drinking Fountains: No
Landscape: Trees and dirt
Other: Community Center
Coping: Exists everywhere, but is sticky as hell (solution: wax your skates, not the coping).
Jumps: A couple of sad hips and a sad excuse for a pyramid too.
Crowds: Usually not too terribly packed, some of the locals pay no attention to others and will cross your lines just so they can use the far end of the U-bowl as a quarterpipe. Most people there are pretty cool though.
Specials: That super-mini gives you one hell of a lot of kick for being so small.
Directions: Take 2nd street until you get to Clark St. Turn onto Clark and go into the parking lot on the left side of the Community Center. There you go.
