Wild West City

Picture this: you roll through the doors of this North skating destination and immediately spot the kind of street layout that makes experienced skaters take notice. The winter crowds thin out the outdoor spots, which is exactly when this enclosed haven fills up with people hungry for uninterrupted sessions. The massive bowl—locals call it "The Pirate Bowl"—dominates the space with its sprawling design, while the street course demands real technical skill and creativity from anyone willing to test themselves against it. The controlled environment means consistent conditions no matter what's happening outside, making those cold months the perfect time to dial in tricks and push your limits indoors.

Morristown National Historical Park is nationally significant as the site of the 1779-80 winter encampment of the Continental Army under General George Washington. Few places evoke the spirit of patriotism and independence, represent individual and collective sacrifice, or demonstrate the resolve, tenacity and determination of the people of the United States to be free as does Morristown. The historic landscapes, structures, objects, and archeological and natural resources at Morristown are tangible links to one of the most defining events in our nation's history. Here the Continental Army under Washington's leadership emerged as a cohesive and disciplined fighting force. The Morristown experience is fundamental to both American history, and remains a source of inspiration for Americans and the world.
