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.

scateinfreak414 - the park has just recently been re paved but all of the same ramps stayed but at least now there ar no cracks to worry about

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ianoid - Still exists as of 8/2005.

Skatewave park on rough blacktop with tons of cracks. 3' high by 12' wide mini. Also slightly tight 6' high by 12' mini. A few other quarters, and annoying hip rail thing that Skatewave seems to love. No flow. All this park really has going for it are the minis.

I was alone at this park most of the time. Not worth a visit unless you live right around it. Oak Park has better street, although it pretty much sucks.

Sign says helmet and pads required, although it didn't seem to be monitored.

The park is located on Fullerton near 74th ave in Elmwood Park. It is actually between the Post Office and the Police Station.
