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.

TimGoat556 - For those looking for this park. The MapQuest linked to the site is inacurate. But you still need to get onto Oak street, then go north untill you see the Intermediate and Highschool on your left full in there to the left of the parking lot infront of their stadium is where the park is located. Not on 17th Oack street. The park is a classic made out of nearly rusted metal, the coping is un-alligned, and the setup is oldschool. On the bright side the edges of the rails and ledges slide great. There are tons of runs, lines, and tricks to be done at the park so check it out. By the way, in the summer and spring months it gets very hot there and the shade behind the ramps can get cramped with un-prepared skaters, so bring pleanty of ater and shorts. Happy Skating.
