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.

FREESTkYLE2 - Yeah I love skating this park because whenever i go there my tricks are on. There's some real talent here and the place is really smooth. Don't go when its hot though cuz they have black ramps and its not fun.

grindtolipslide - I was actually surprised at how well this park was layed out for the space provided and that it is another modular design park. This park has a great set up for all ability levels. The ramps are spaced right to be able to keep your speed. All of the coping in done right too! Well built 5 ft. mini. Banks, quarters of all differnt sizes, smooth pool corner! straight bar at a good height, grind and manual boxes. Bathrooms located by skatepark. My only complaint is lack of lighting there. Check it out!!!
