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.

B-WOODsk8er - They also make you wear full pads sometimes, if your under 16, if your 15, a lot of times they don't care, but once your in there, they can't really tell your age.

B-WOODsk8er - the plex is pretty good, the design is fine, but it's kind of small, and it's the only park around, so it's packed at about 50 kids on a friday night, but it's great if you're there alone. And it costs almost 15 dollars to skate for two hours. I used to hate because I couldn't do anything there, but it's alright, except for the money and the size.
