Glendale Heights Camera Skate Park

This large, fun skatepark is 4 converted tennis courts with a combination of the common black Masonite ramps and some concrete ramps. There are unique options and standard designs. Multiple bar boxes /​rail pyramids along with two 4 or 5 ft concrete quarter pipes and a spine. Steep concrete bank ramps start you out. Fun kicker. Fun two level concrete grind box. Lots of room for flat ground. Overall fun park. Two of the concrete ramps are in disrepair.

Camera park is at a perfectly convenient location between my nannying job and LA fitness; therefore, I have no excuse for not running and working out. It’s right near the Glendale Heights fire department at Bloomingdale rd and Fullerton (I always hope they’re bbqing so I can stop and ask for a bite when I’m starving post-​run) and also near a school so beware of cops, they’re always swarming the area.
The park is nothing stunningly unique but it also isn’t displeasing to the eye plus it’s clean. Green fields, 2 play parks, some sporting fields, a skate park, a pond, and the only part I really care about– paths to run on. I try to run for at least 30 minutes so I usually end up looping the paths in various patterns, it’s mostly flat/​nearly flat terrain but there are some hilly portions so that adds some variety (also, there are mile markers).
Plenty of parking, benches along the path, this park has something for everyone. BTW, be kind to the geese during nesting season, they’re just wanting their little ones to be safe.
