What's the difference between a terrain park and a progression park?

at stevens there is the main Park, but they also have two littler park areas, one of them is only like 4-5 features, but has good things to get people into park. for example, they have a wide flat box, an A frame box, shotgun rail, and tube, and its where i learned how to hit rails. basically a progression park is somewhere smaller to try small features and get a grip on that, and then step it up to the main terrain park

Dear OP,
Your threads blow.

At my hill the progression park has a couple small boxes and rails with a mini halfpipe.

The difference is a progression park is where you belong, a terrain park is not

In theory a "progression park" is a terrain park that's designed to help riders progress their skills with features that are learning-friendly. For example, a progression park might feature jib options like a very wide box, a normal-width box, and a flat rail, so riders can work their way up to the more difficult features.

However, in practice what many resorts call "progression parks" are just places to put small jibs to keep beginners out of other park areas, without much thought to the "progressive" aspect of helping riders learn.

In my opinion all parks should be designed as "progression parks" although they don't need to be called that. Every park should display a range of options for all skill levels and provide ways for people to learn and progress gradually: a 10-foot rail, a 20-foot rail, a 30-foot rail; a 10-foot jump, a 20-foot jump, a 30-foot jump; and so on.

Yeah it's pretty annoying at our park we have like a shitty 5 foot jump, then the rest are 25 feet+ so unless you have balls to go from 5ft to 25, you're probably not gonna be hitting the jumps in our park which sucks. There's just not much room of the hill to have that many jumps/ rails...which also sucks

A progression park is to a terrain park as an apple is to fruit
