Skatepark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A skatepark is a purpose-built recreational environment for skateboarders, BMXers, and inline skaters to ride and develop their sport and art. The modern public skatepark is a relatively new creation, made possible by legislation stating that skateboarding is an inherently "hazardous activity", and therefore municipalities and their employees may not be held liable for claims of negligence resulting in skateboarders' injuries. The Paris Skatepark is approximately 5000 square feet (470 m²) of ashphalt terrain, and is complemented with both steel and wooden ramps. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Skatepark   (1148 words)

Skatepark Warranties, 24 February 2004 Skatepark customers for the most part are municipalities paying between $100,000 and $250,000 for the typical skatepark, which more often than not is taking the place of some aging pool or ball court in a city park. For skateparks, the ramps and rails are made of powder-coated steel, and the transition plates are made of aluminum. The Hawaii Skatepark Association wrote a review of the park a year ago, posting digital photos of the rust spots (seen here) and awarding the park a half star out of a possible five. www.warrantyweek.com /archive/ww20040224.html   (6219 words)

Carlsbad Skatepark Memorial   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) The skatepark property is part of a 165-acre redevelopment project in eastern Carlsbad, California, and with San Diego County’s rapid growth in the past decade, the once isolated parcel on which the skatepark sat became central to the Carlsbad industrial zone.
