What a lame park. It has a quarterpipe just as mellow as Sea-Tac's with the same type of coping, only it's about five feet wide instead of 12 feet wide. It has slanted banks with a metal ledge, also similar to Sea-Tac's. Maybe they should have stayed with the Sea-Tac idea, because it starts to suck even worse from there. There is a deep mellow bowl, and when I say mellow, I mean mellow. There is no way to get air out of that bowl and there's no coping, so pretty much it's kind of useless. The park finishes off with some nice metal ledges and a corner similar to that of Maple Valley, just without a decent line flowing to it. It's near a lot of trees, so if it's wet, it'll take forever to dry. The traffic near-by sucks too. Skip this place and go to Bothell or Everett. If you really want to go, it's in LOWER Lyndale Park, NOT upper Lynndale Park.
