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.

shesleuth - Wonderful place to skateboard but challenging. Would recommend wearing the pads b/c spills can get messy.

uncleernest - This park is incredibly out of place. You would not imagine that a pour-in-place park of this size could be found in the middle of Missouri. You could skate the entire weekend at Cosmo and keep it fresh the entire time. It's clean, has an awesome atmoshpere, and is greatly appreaciated. Finally. A non-coastal city with a something that is actaully fun to skate.
