Park was ok kind of beat down. if you are just learning how to skate not the park for you and also I think someone lives in one of the ramps

Cool if youre creative. Smooth ground. Lights.

Clean and well lit! Lots of artwork. Smooth, plenty of ramps, and is fun to ride around.

A little bigger than RFK skating lot, needs shade and looks as though someone is living in one of the underparts of the ramps there.

A basic and limited park but plenty of space and flatground. Decent enough ledges and banks. Feels very 90s. Its the only park in central DC anyway! Nearby RFK park is a lot better and a little further out try Melrose and Powhatan Springs.

Good vibes.

Love

Fun too skate a little dangerous but always people

Shaw skate park awesome spot to reconnect with friends and family.

Chill af! And if you look hard enough, you might find the next Tony hawk...or ken park, and Ken park spelled backwards is krap nek. If You know this reference, you know whTs up

Nice skate park full of African american skaters. They had fireworks

I went to the basketball court. Which was empty because of the heat. Two guys rolled up, a dad and his son. My cousin and I played a few 2 vs 2. We won every game. It was good bump. I wish they would fix the fourth bball court.

Nice try. Mostly the stoner crowd.

Great little local park surface isnt bad you can pick up speed easy. Lots of fun

Dont come here during peak times if you cant even ollie... you get in the way... and the bums smoking dope on the ledges also suck but good park to goof off for a bit before you go to a real spot like freedom

I want to learn how to skate

Nice place; not crowded. Skate structures are well-maintained. Basketball courts next door. Parking on street. No noticeable skate snobs; my 11 tear-old and his friends were comfortable here.

I remember when this place was cracked blacktop and gravel! Landed my first 50-50 and nose manual here.

Love it!!!

Dont go there around 4-6 because its crawling with scooter kids at around those times

Friendly environment. Good gas lol. @DirtyKnuckez

Looks fun! I think I seen this in Paul Rodriguezs skate video!

Does anyone know if the shaw skatepark is open today for Saturday and Sunday

Only con is that it gets freaking crowded and it aint big at all, the place is well maintained although there aint many modules either, but the atmosphere really rocks, rather skate here than a big cool skatepark with boring semi-pro/helmeted-noobs atmosphere, and some locals really shred the place off

Great skating

Cultural landmark

Does anybody know if there are lights for the basketball court? And if so do they stay on all night?

Are scooters allowed?

Been coming here for years!!! Good vibes
