That is OK, but it could be better. "I know the park there is bigger and I want very much to skate there", said the excited skater.
| The original sentence, should it be "badly?"

Yes, it should, but that is why I changed it. "Badly" is an adverb and "so" is an adverb that intensifies it. As it was written, "badly" would attach logically to the nearest verb. In this case, that was "skate". But we know the person didn't want to skate "badly". He wanted badly to skate. To avoid confusion I changed it to "very much".
