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.

Mikado - The Huntsville City Council officially dedicated the park in memory of Lydia Gold in 2004. In 2006, they voted to erect a sign, which went up in November 2007. It is now officially the "Lydia Gold Skatepark." The Tennessee Valley Skateboarding Association is raising funds to increase the park's size and infrastructure.

rawls - In dec 2006, this Huntsville AL skatepark added a peanut shaped backyard style pool with 5ft and 8ft depths and real pool coping. The pool adds a dimension to the park that has been sorely lacking in the area- some real roundwall.
More expansions may be coming in the future.
