Burnham Park Skate Park in Chicago, Illinois

“At first glance it looks like a fantastic, medium size park. Bowls, quarter pipes, wedges, walls hubus, rails, a giant three block, manual pads, flat bars and a ridiculously tall and pointy speed hump. But, look close in that second image... this park was not built by a company that makes skate parks. The joints are massive, even in the bottom of bowls... right at the bottom of the transition, a 1 inch gap that may o”

“It would be a totally sick park if the ground was actually smooth. There's a bunch of purposeful cracks in the ground. Kinda like a puzzle. It has mostly transition, ramps, and ledges. Great for bikes and bigger wheels. Not so good for regular skateboard wheels. Pretty quiet besides the cars going past but eventually it turns into white noise.”

“it's amazing location. not sure if there's better parking. seems a bit hard to get too. no restroom near by. it's a neat skate park. not the best surface.”

“Not really worth going. Cement is cracking and coping on ledges are falling apart. Transitions are really steep and hard to ride for any sport. What they call quarter pipes are really rough and steep. The nearest parking is down the road that you have to pay for. Your better off going downtown and riding the Grant Skate Park. I was pretty disponted with this park.”

“If youu2019re looking to skate ledges and street, this park isnu2019t too bad, But if youu2019re looking to skate bowls or transition in general, donu2019t waste your time at this park. I donu2019t think the park was built by the proper kind of concrete layers ud83dude02 There are a couple mellow banks which were fun to skate but the bowls with coping and a majority of the banks should be redone because they could really use some love. Honestly ”

“This is one of the most unsafe skateparks Iu2019ve ever been to. I like the design and set up but thatu2019s about the only good thing about this park. The transitions are super aggressive. The lips are super steep and inconsistent. Huge cracks around the whole park. Not made for anything with wheels. This place was definitely made by someone that is not a professional.”

“Aggressively shaped, some steep spots, but overall a decent shred. Ledges at a moderate height, interesting bowls and interestingly located. Also all concrete and metal coping. Worth the hike or drive to get there.”

“Fantastic transition oriented park! It skates like an even more rolly version of Wilson park on the northside. I'm only sad it seems badly positioned so many people don't appear to see it or don't come. The parking lot closest is like $30! But there's cheaper parking a little ways north. There are tons of obstacles, and lots of central space for creative combos. This park may be a little frustrating for newer skaters”
