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.

Review: The design of the Azusa Skate Park definitely is geared toward the street skater. Ledges, rails, and an abundance of stairs will satisfy the needs of the typical street skater. With just a few mellow banks the park does not offer much in regards to transition skateboarding.
At the entrance of the Skate Park you will be greeted by a skate park employee that will require that you sign in in order to skate. The park also requires you to wear a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads to which they will loan to you if you do not have your own equipment.
Bottom Line – Don’t bother unless you live in the area.
