The Arts Barn Skatepark: A Little Slice of Gnar
There is in fact a skatepark located at the Madison Arts Barn. Situated directly behind the building, the park can be accessed either through the Arts Barn or by sidewalk around the Barn.
It is an outdoor park featuring a fly box, a few different grind rails, a mini ramp, quarter pipe, and slant box. Best in the town!
