Three years after it opened, the 40,000-square-foot Arvada Skatepark remains the biggest and baddest — and most photogenic — in the state. This one was designed by Team Pain with a "build it big and watch them rise to the occasion" mentality that has clearly come to pass. Go there on any given day to see skaters of all ages tearing around the deep end of the massive snake-run section, carving over a full-sized doorway arch, boosting airs out of the big bowl, and getting creative on some of the most innovative street-course features ever built.
