Beasley is the first permanent outdoor skateboard park that I had ever seen.

It’s the oldest skatepark on the entire Eastern Seaboard. People have been coming here since the mid 1980s to skate.

I skated here a lot when I was a kid and it wasn’t until many years later that parks like this became commonplace.

When I skated here as a teenager, this ramp didn’t even exist. Skaters have been maintaining and improving the park for years now.

This ramp is a new addition as well. It’s only about five years old.

I love the look and feel of this park.

It was nice to get back here after all these years and enjoy a skate on a very familiar park.

This is the famous Widow Maker quarter-pipe.

a standard rail,

and the launch ramp.

This weekend, they are running their 23rd Annual Sk8 Jam.

It’s always a lot of fun. Hope to see you there!
