z06 mcnasty: Great park and good diverse people to all get along

Jonathan DeGange: Always good. I’m quite regular there.

NSTRIKER15: Enjoyed the new renovation. Could use a better parking lot but still pretty good

Jordan Anstatt: Fun, smooth park with decent flow. Two flatbar, lots of ledge options, and mellow transition. Good for learning tricks.

weston kinsey: Great hip rails and tranny. runup for the stairs is not amazing but other than that 5/5

Timothy Chen Allen: Nice place; not crowded. Skate structures are well-maintained. Basketball courts next door. Parking on street. No noticeable skate snobs; my 11 tear-old and his friends were comfortable here.

Brendan Cruz: Went in to get my first skateboard. Jackson helped me from the very beginning and was the absolute best throughout the whole process. He walked me through each step and made me feel at ease. Would definitely highly recommend anyone looking to purchase their first skateboard to come here.

Vivian Lu: Best skate shop in all of NOVA. I frequent here to buy wheels, bearings, and other skate gear. Today I finally bought one of the Aluminati boards (cruiser board made from recycled aircraft). Rode it for about an hour, and it packs a punch for a cruiser board! I recommend going here for reasonably priced skateboards or gear. The people there will always try to help you.

Andrew Arena: Highly recommend this great skate shop! Had just a wonderful, ideal shopping experience thanks to Jackson - the friendly, knowledgeable, helpful gentlemen who took care of us. Our son wanted his first skateboard for his 15th birthday today. Initially looked online… so many options, but how to choose? So glad I read a “choosing your first skateboard” article that advised NOT buying online, but visiting your local shop. We are SO glad we did! Jackson explained all the options that bewilder a beginner - deck widths, concavity, wheel hardness, etc… He explained the pros/cons of the choices in our budget, and even gave a quick getting started lesson to our son. Instead of picking potential junk online, we walked away with a perfect board, and the skills and confidence to get started…. He’s practicing Jackson’s lessons right now, and it’s working. From day one!! If you’re a first timer, save yourself the frustration…definitely go to your local shop, not online!! And no matter your level of experience, if you want a great selection, a great shopping experience, and knowledgeable helpful staff… definitely go to Fairfax Surf Shop!!! Today was our first time, but we’re now lifetime loyal customers, thanks Jackson and FSS!!!

Chandler Hutchinson: They guys Liam and Teo are really great and they make u feel like a skater and a family member instead of a customer! Much love for the shop and the quality of the work the guys put out for us as a customer! Will always come here!

Charles Corson: My daughter got her first skateboard here! Staff were friendly and helpful. Good selection of decks and quality trucks and wheels.

Spencer “Spe” Martin: Cool shop, nice inventory. Seems like the best local shop in the area.

Rashawd Smith: Teo and Jake were very knowledgeable and patient with me and my kids. Skateboarding has DRASTICALLY changed since I was a kid so now I found that I know exactly zip about anything other than balancing. Teo fixed our old boards, changed over the trucks and wheels. Jack hooked us up with some new boards and gear. The Vibe was cool and my kids are VERY happy with the purchases. The inventory is super diverse and if I still had good knees I would have gotten a board for myself!!! They have a board for everyone and knowledge for all who want to learn. Also I would highly recommend the skate camp that Fairfax Surf Shop manages. My kids are loving that as well and now they can skateboard better than when I tried to teach them. 5 Stars well deserved. Cheers!!

Landon sk8s Bigboy ramps: Wide variety of decks wheels trucks and bearings supports some of the best local skaters sick shop

Shennequia Downey: First I want to say that this place is beautiful, me and my husband have spent two weekend in a row. The staff here are very pleasant, they have plenty of activities for the family and the environment of people on the campground are pleasure to be around. The bathroom are clean and private. The camp is kept clean. I will be returning.

Jason C: Spent the weekend camping and hiking at the campground. Decent place to camp surrounded by the city. The place was packed and for some reason, the park didn’t open the showers all weekend. Other than this, things were good for a quick getaway.

Muj Mas: A great place for family picnic with several grill and tables, shelter and toilets. The lake is beautiful and fishing is allowed.

Nick Lamb: 5 stars for the mountain bike trails. 4 stars is really only because the water park lines are always ridic. But overall a good place to skate too even though I don’t skate.

Damian: One of the best skate parks in the area,wear protection kids and be safe.

Lane Rolling: Another one of the best skateparks in Virginia. They have all different kinds of obstacles for your skate board needs. The park does have lights but they go off at 930. If your in fairfax Virginia I would definitely check out this park and have some fun. They have a bowl as well.

simon malouf: I love the flow bowl there and the level of skating I saw during my visits was amazing. Great skatepark whether you like street or transition skating

Rick M: Conveniently located shared use trail park. Offers lighted tennis courts, a skate park, rec center, and ball fields. I most enjoy the MTB trails with access from the CCT.

Josh Williams: Nice REC center and park combined. Nice trail around the park to go for a nice outdoor walk. Nice skate park

_Carzforlyfe _: Great sized skatepark, but it’s old and needs work. Renovations will be going up soon and am looking forward to the new additions.

Mike Colie: Bathrooms were redone but dugouts are still from 20-30 years ago and are very small.

Minerva Atilano: Nice place and safe environment for my kids to practice skateboarding.

Cason Fajardo: this is my local, its huge and mostly just a transition park, there isnt really any flow to it though, the street section is good but not very beginner friendly if you are pretty good you could have some fun here but its mostly just huge ramps lol

Steve Lund: This park is really nice. There is a good variety of ramps and they are all in great condition. Kids had a great time skateboarding, roller blading, and biking.

Mike Yelovich: Very modern lots of good kids

Marcelo Castillo: Absolutely love it, I have been skating there for probably around 8 years and have made friends with the staff and fellow skaters, everyone there is super friendly and skating there isnt intimidating like other parks

Zain Bokhari: I’ve been going to Gaithersburg Skatepark for almost 7 years now and the skatepark and it’s staff have made it a safe environment for the pleasure of skateboarding and is very family friendly and the skaters and I are very nice and respectful to people and our home away from home, Gaithersburg Skatepark

Ryan Horan: Great for the kids. They have a good mix of ramps to progress from a basic rider to an advanced rider.

devin Hancock: The people are cool and a great place for all levels of biking or skate boarding

Cynthia Saunders: We had a Great day at the Skating party today. Woo-Hop YESS! Staff was friendly and helpful.

Jay Hugee: Took the family skating after the Juneteenth Celebration in Watkins Regional Park…GREAT TIME! Can’t wait to return. ❤️🖤💚

Doreen W: Kudos to the updated skating rink. Floor is beautiful, music is good and good atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of people skating. There was a birthday party after our session and it was a big crowd. Look forward to having fun here again.

Safiya Parker: Went for adult night. $10 admission, $5 rental. It was a good experience and nice to watch the different skater skills

Tasha Vaughan: I’ve been going to this rink since a child an have seen many changes for the good this is home away from home the staff are friendly an always willing to give a helping hand or just great info for new skaters to make them feel comfortable The music is great an they cater to age so if u are older the they have the throwback jams on Thursdays except the 1st Thursday of the month But over all great staff an customers Keep doing what your doing!!!!

Danny Schmitz: I used to skate the old skatepark for years until they closed it a few years ago. It was the spot we’re my buddies and I would get together every night after work and get a good skate session until the lights went out. I was really looking forward to having something like this again but the helmets rules and hours just make the park not worth skating. I understand if younger kids need to wear protective gear but making experienced adult skateboarders wear helmets is just ridiculous! It felt more like I was skating at a daycare than a skatepark! They’re skateparks in nearby cities like Olney, Silver Spring, etc. that you can just walk in whenever and skate helmet free! Even though the old Rockville park layout wasn’t as good, I’d take it over the new park any day!

sol diaz: New park is FANTASTIC! Staff is wonderful, great ramps, basically anything a beginning or advanced skater could ask for in such a small space :)

dave garvey: The hours are so terrible. How can anyone ride if they’re practically never open. I’d like to see this place do a sunrise to sunset type of deal like all the other parks in Maryland.

Frey Sure: Nice environment and serene atmosphere!

Jason Jenkins: Great atmosphere! Place is clean and folks were super friendly. I just picked up skateboarding and the guys here were quick to give me a few pointers to help me. My daughter had no issues riding her scooter around. Place is free, well kept and open from sun-up until sun-down. A park ranger will occasionally make the rounds to ensure everything is running well. Overall a great experience for me and my family.

Adam L: Best park in the area next to Shrimptown. Free to skate and bowl is fun to sesh. Bring your friends

buddy MASTIN: Great skateboard park, took my 9 year old grandson and he had a great time. Everyone was nice and very helpful. It gets pretty busy on Friday evening and Saturday so if you are bringing young skateboarders you might want to opt for a weekday. We will be back. 1 of the 2 best skate parks we have been to so far.

Joshua G.: Awasome park great variety smooth surface well maintained a little for everyone here. Awasome people had a blast learning riding and watching some awasome talent here.

Bill Transue: Quality skate park, great bowl

Alex Hakspiel: Had a great time there with a friend. We ended up staying for 3 hours 🤷‍♂️ Great place to skate, friendly community that was helpful, everything there is skateable for all experience levels, and it was very clean and kept up! Definitely visiting again.

Kristin Gross: My kids love going to Bowie Ice Arena to skate. My son has taken several learn to skate lessons. The instructors make it fun for little ones who are just starting out. Lots of games mixed with skill. The facility is clean and staff are friendly. My daughter is looking forward to attending a week long summer camp this year as well. Open skate sessions are offered throughout the week. Rental skates are available! Check it out.

Moe Paul: I learned how to skate from not knowing how to skate from the lessons here. Everyone from the staff to the skaters taking lessons is very encouraging and willing to help you get better . Come on out from child to senior citizen and have some fun.

《ItsNotJala 》: They teach so much in 30mins. The staff are amazing and they have wonderful shows. 10/10 experience

Majd Hijazi: Nice place next to the park, price is also good. Better to check their website before coming.

Jay & Amanda Brinson: Could use some updates, but a great place to skate and/or have a party

Jennifer Beilman: The have the walkers that assist beginners. My kids were on them for the first hour til they got the feel of it. One of the workers came out and offered some helpful advice too! We got a Groupon for $15 for 4 people including hot cocoa and rentals. My kids loved it and begged to return soon.

Ari Orenstein: There is always plenty of space on the ice and it does not feel overcrowded, the skate guards are very nice too. I can skate fast to get a burn, practice my backwards crossovers, and most importantly have fun! This is my favorite ice rink, hands down.

Walter Holmes: Went during family skate (i.e., discounted for families). No issues, and the ice skates seemed relatively new.
