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.

surfincjk - Although it does suck to fall on the concrete, it's still fun. The spine is a good time and can be used to transfer to the fun box next to it. There's also an 8 stair which is cool with a rail right next to it for those ballsy skaters. Theres another 6 stair made of concrete in the corner of the park w/ a rail next to it. Overall a fun park to check..

tejas - Good intentions for this park. There's a really nice small mini for learning new tricks. However, the pavement is some of the worst I've ever skated. It's been raked to ensure a slow speed at all times. Expect losing a lot of skin if you fall. There's also a nice big hipped bank, but it's impossible to get enough speed to use it.
