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.

Kimflute - My 10 yr. old son enjoyed skateboarding here. It was very crowded on Sat. afternoon though. I didn't feel like the park rules were enforced. Ex. The sign says you must wear helmet, knee and elbow pads- most kids only had a helmet. Also, the profanity that I heard from some teenagers was very offensive- esp. kids laughing at other kids and calling them names. I almost said something to some of the rude kids. I think there needs to be a paid employee to make sure that kids are following the guidelines of the park (no smoking, no profanity, wearing pads). For this reason, I would rather travel farther to take my son to Greyson's skate park.

irepvalo - the park is small, and it can be crowded later in the day. nice bowl, a few rails, 4ft mini pipe, 4ft quartrer pipe, kickers, funbox, and a small beginners park. it closes at dark and waxhaws finest make sure of that. free admission and police escorts for the bad kids. its is a good park
