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.

Review: Carson is smooth fast and has a plethora of small-scale tranny and street sections that are calling your name. This is by far not the best park in the area but it is a standard mid-sized park that offers some decent and interesting terrain. The park features a 3’ to 4’ capsule that has a somewhat abrupt 2’ extension on one end. There is also a 3’ to 4’ horse-shoe bowl laced into the reservoir section with banks on each side which allow for transfers in and out of the bowl. The actual reservoir section of the park does not really offer any elaborate lines just your basic 4’ wide trannys leading to the opposite ends of the park.
Bottom Line – Good times to be had – check it out yourself!
