Skate Park

"The Skate Park's BrickScore of 50 reflects an expert view that the $39.99 price buys disappointingly little building material and minimal design sophistication, even as real owners rated it 4.8 stars, a split explained by the inclusive wheelchair character and child-friendly play that experts do not weight heavily."

Despite a BrickScore of 50.1 placing the Skate Park (60290) firmly in the Skip It tier, the owner experience tells a starkly different story: 4.8 out of 5 stars across 1,204 ratings with 94% recommending it. The expert consensus scored the set harshly on parts value (39.8), design aesthetics (45), and value for money (32.4) relative to the $39.99 retail price and 195-piece count, finding it a poor parts haul at $0.205 per piece. This is one of the clearest critic-versus-owner splits in the City range.

Where they split: This set shows the sharpest expert-versus-owner split in the batch. Expert reviewers assigned a 50.1 BrickScore driven by poor parts value, weak aesthetics, and overpricing for the piece count. Owners responded with 4.8 stars and 94% recommendation, driven by the wheelchair minifigure, accessible play, and the skate theme appeal. Both verdicts are defensible from their own angle.
