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.

rawls - Although not on par with the latest concrete parks nor comparable to the Get-A-Way of the late 70's, Insanity does offer cement for the park starved area in Alabama. The bowl has good depth and size, its shape permits all sorts of lines and speed, but lacks the true 'round wall' feel and the coping does not stick out. Regardless, it is definitely rideable and worth atleast a short road trip. There are some other cement areas that permit various riding whether you are into banks or street. The ramps are typical street course fair, with a super nice vert ramp. If you fuss about pads, rules, and paying to skate, then head on up to Nashville and hit their crete.
