Ott Family YMCA Skate Park is a bowl-focused spot with multiple concrete bowls and grind bars, plus a fingerboard area, and it’s generally described as fun for both newer and experienced skaters. Expect limited/no night lighting and occasional maintenance issues like debris or a run-down feel, so daytime sessions are the safest bet.

Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking lot are available. Reviews mention the park has been run down at times, with plans to reopen, and that stadium lights are not operating so night skating is not available. Some reviews note debris in a bowl and a large hole in the fence / easy public access, which may feel sketchy.
