Brian Aragon Skatepark in Brighton | Good Street and Flowy Vert

Brian Aragon Skatepark in Brighton, Colorado is a nice 14,000 square foot cement skatepark with a number of street and transition skating features. This is a great place for skaters who are already comfortable with the basics and are ready to try some new features. The smooth transitions and a good flow around the skatepark make it a fun option for cement surfing on a longboard.

First Impressions: Brian Aragon Skatepark in Brighton

When we first got to Brian Aragon Skatepark in Brighton I noticed how narrow the multi level ramp section was. In combination with the fence, rails, and tall ledges I thought this park was going to be a headache. But the park opens up and it actually has a much better flow than I first thought!

Pros: Smooth transitions, bowls, and street features. Plus roll ins to the bowl!

Cons: Not much flat open space, if that’s what you’re in to

Riders Thoughts: Brian Aragon Skatepark in Brighton

I really enjoyed the skatepark in Brighton. The park has a bunch of good elements and has a good flow all around. There is a little bit for everyone here no matter your skating style or what kind of wheels you like to use whether it be skateboard, longboard, scooter, skates, or bmx. The main area of the skatepark has rams, stairs, rails, boxes, and a number of other street features. This area also has a rounded bowl pocket lined in coping and flows well up the narrow multi level area.

Brian Aragon Skatepark in Brighton has two large vert bowls that were the highlight of the park for me. I enjoyed these bowls because the walls are tall, the transitions are smooth, and they both have a unique shape that makes for great flow. The larger of the two bowls is a very big flow bowl. It’s mostly lined in coping with the exception of a very convenient tall roll in right in the middle. This made the bowl fun for the longboard because I didn’t have to drop in.

The flow of this bowl is great, as intended. And because of the size it is easy for riders to experiment with all sorts of new lines. The largest wall in this bowl is an over-vert pocket which is pretty cool. It’s right in front of the roll in so it’s easy to go right at it with a bunch of speed.

Shred it Later – Pin it Now

The second bowl at the Brian Aragon Skatepark is fully lined in coping. It features tiles and cement pool coping in the deepest pocket. The shape of this bowl really allows riders to pump up speed to hit the deepest part of the bowl with the most speed.

I found this bowl to be a lot of fun because riding over the tiles in this bowl will tickle your feet and the sound of your wheels riding over the tiles is very rewarding!

This skatepark in Brighton is a pretty cool skatepark with a lot of fun features and cool obstacles. The smooth transitions and flow of this skatepark made it really fun for me and for longboarding in a skatepark. I think anyone who likes to shred will have fun here, but newbies might find the features in this park to be a little bit difficult.
