And now a little background on skateparks. The first skateparks were primarily private, for-profit endeavors, although several public parks were built globally. Parks then included pools, bowls, snake runs, freestyle areas, banked slalom areas, half-pipes, and full pipes. Most were concrete and were outdoors. In more extreme climates parks were built indoors, often of wood.
The modern public skatepark is relatively new, made possible by legislation such as California's 1998 law stating that skateboarding is an inherently "Hazardous Recreational Activity" (HRA), and therefore municipalities and their employees may not be held liable for claims of negligence resulting in skateboarders' injuries. Parks are usually for persons 14 or over.
The Tony Hawk Foundation is at the forefront of helping cities to get skateparks built. The Tony Hawk Foundation seeks to foster lasting improvements in society, with an emphasis on supporting and empowering youth. Through special events, grants, and technical assistance, the Foundation supports recreational programs with a focus on the creation of public skateboard parks in low-income communities. The Foundation favors programs that clearly demonstrate that funds received will produce tangible, ongoing, positive results.

grindtolipslide - I can see why this place is not too crowded. The location is on a very busy corner is a scummy industrial park. The skate park is as far away from the rest of Redmond Park as possible. This skatepark is also a modular eyesore with nothing too exciting. Bensenville bought the low end set up. There is a comfortable vibe here that I like. I just hope that the future of skateboarding dosen't turn into identical (or really similar) skateparks in each town. How different do baseball fields look from one another? Don't let your town take the easy way out. Plan something original. O' yeah and add lights!
