SKATE TRIPS: DOWNERWEEN [LANSDOWNE SKATEPARK]

SANDY HILLS SKATEPARK (LANSDOWNE) – 3326 BERO RD. LANSDOWNE, MD 21227

“It’s said to be one of the oldest Skateparks on the East Coast, if not the United States.”

“The park, which opened in 1978, features a massive concrete bowl, now decorated with colorful graffiti left by skaters past and present. Most modern skate parks feature only metal ramps, which do not allow as much room for experimentation on the board.”

“It’s just an entirely different style, you’re more spread out, you’re not within as constricted of an area.”

“Sandy Hills is unique in Baltimore County in that it is the only site which offers both concrete and metal.”

“The dual setup at the Lansdowne park has made it a mecca of sorts for skaters around the country and around the world.”
