Situated somewhere in between Lafayette and Indianapolis lies the small, but bustling city of Frankfort. Home of the Frankfort Hot Dogs, not only does the city have a crazy mascot and an abundance of processed meat, it also as a great skatepark.
Along with a few of my friends, I went down to the city this weekend to have a good old fashioned session at the skatepark. The park is comprised of a variety of well-placed, pre-fabricated, concrete apparatus designed to appeal to just about all skateboarders. The park includes three, four foot tall mini-ramps, two of which have extensions and the other has a spine in the middle. There are two pyramids; one with a hubba ledge and a rail that can be skated by both regular and goofy footed skaters and the other with a flat wall extending across the hip. There are two fun boxes. One features a concave curve while the other includes a variety of options including a flat bar and an elevated box. There are several other obstacles placed throughout the park including a flatbar and a bench. Frankfort’s skatepark also includes a hefty six stair with hubba ledges and a handrail for the more ambitious skateboarder. All in all, a solid amount of obstacle assortment can be found here. As one of the smoothest skateparks in the state, it is one of the most fun places to go.
My friends and I had a good time skating all the options the park had to offer. Though this wasn’t the first time I had been to the park, it was nice to have a change in the monotony of the police infested skate spots my college has to offer. You couldn’t have asked for a better day either. It was sunny and warm with a nice cooling breeze; sort of one of those perfect fall days we all love. I really hope to go back to the park sometime soon. I really like it a lot. So if you are ever traversing north-central Indiana on I-65, pull off at the Frankfort exit and have yourself a little session. It will be a lot of fun.
