Falls Creek Park and Skatepark
900 Yett Street

Falls Creek Park is located at the corner of Yett and Main Streets and adjoins Lakeside park on the east and Johnson Park on the west. There are several picnic tables, barbeque pits, a canoe-launch area and restroom facilities. It is also the location of the Falls Creek Park Skatepark.

The skatepark is a 12,000 square foot concrete and granite park with a number of unique features and elements such as the 'Noose', the 'Double-Dorito' hip, the 'Bowless' corner and the 'Rainbow' rail.
