“Hand build by skaters since 1995. FDR skatepark is arguably the best in the country. Blood sweat and grit went into this place. Everything about it is so American. Exposed rebar. Little caves. And serious street art. Visiting is such an experience”

“FDR is a great skatepark. It was built by skateboarders for skateboarders and we only wish many other cities in America would follow trend. The locals are all great people and if you skate you should def stop in and skate, meet some killer people and see this amazing park in person!”

“Was surprised at how big and beautiful this park was, pics donu2019t do it justice. Massive bowls, roll-ins, banks, decks, all connected by nice transitions and covered in some really sick street art. Went at dusk and since it doesnu2019t have lights, there werenu2019t many people there, but during the day, looks like a great place to hang out in that classic philly skater atmosphere. Unfortunately not many street skate features”

“This park was a wow-zers for us. I loved every bit of it. We spent about an hour there and that was to get a feel of it and then stayed to have some fun. The other boarders were pleasant and helpful. They watched out for the smaller kids(mine). We will be returning and making it regular in the Summer season. Go and enjoy! ud83dudc8b”

“A piece of skateboard history, and absolutely one of the lumpiest, roughest skateparks in the world. Skate here and you'll appreciate how good the locals really are. If you're not sure where it is just drive the loop around the park and you'll get to it eventually.”
