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.

sk8tehard - I have to say we went this weekend to this park.
This park rocks, it was a chillin shreding session. I loved the fact that it was a street course. You don't see that very often, so it was cool time. Plus, the rec center has two 2 stairs off to the side and a threee stair in the front with two ledges. The park is located in South St.Pete it's definetly a must return

lakotega - Brand new skate park! A bit disppointing as it does not have a clearly flowing line, but it's a good introduction to street skating to an old skater like me. Wish it had some vert. No fences, no fees! Some grafitti and trash, guess some youngsters have no pride.
