Redmond is known primarily for its mellow transitions and its thick coping. A crappy pyramid is in the center, and a low, thick handrail lines the side bank. I like this place, it gives you a great opportunity to learn how to grind. It has lights until 9pm and has two bowls dug out, but not filled with concrete yet. This is also the only park I've seen with an Art Wall, which I think is a very good idea (prevents park tagging). Watch out for some of the locals, they'll crash right into you and act as if you ran into them.

Directions: Take HWY 520 until it ends or take E Lake Sammammish Pkwy from Issaquah, go through town until you reach 160th. Hang a right and you'll see the park less than a mile down the road.
