Are skateboards and roller blades popular in your area and are there outdoor skate parks locally?

I am thinking about contacting someone already in a outdoor skate park business and finding out the pros %26amp; cons of developing one in our area where there is only a indoor flat floor rink.





Would you think it is a good or bad idea and your thoughts please?

There were quite a few skateboarders when I went to high school. There were no rinks or anything around. Absolutely no place to skate. So they all got together and convinced the school board to let them build a small skate park in the unused section of the teachers parking lot. They paid for it all out of their own pockets and it was free to the public. It was extremely small but it satisfied their needs. The only rule the board had was that there had to be a teacher or some kind of supervisor present as they were skating, and they were released from all liability if someone got hurt. And they had to put certain, more dangerous things away after a certain time or when the supervisor left (things like ramps that would be dangerous for just anyone to skate on-the small ramps were ok). They were able to move everything if it was needed so it worked out.

I am a skater and i hate rollerbladers.


No bikes, or scooters either.


Indoor parks are better.


Outdoor park w/ shaded areas = good


No stupid obstacles.


Get obstacle advice from a skater.

Reply:there is not one where I live, but skateboarding is popular.





In Asheville, NC, they have a lovely one for the youth. I think it is supported by some grocery store or something-foodfair maybe.
Reply:Skateboards are popular. There was an illegal skate park in the woods but it was torn down for condos.
