yeah I'm sure it gets crowded on the weekends I would hit it first thing in the morning before it turns into demolition derby. is there a set time they open or is it kind of whatever time someone with a key opens the gate?

I forget the weekend hours but weekdays it was roughly 10am I think.

The attendant was often late, and I *think* it is more or less OK to hop the fence and ride anyway if the attendant hasn't shown. I sat outside and watched a skater hit it by himself for 15 minutes one morning, as i didn't feel like hauling my gear over the fence. The attendant didn't say anything when he arrived and opened it up.
