Skatepark (Mobius) (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

On Mobius, a skatepark, or skate park, is a purpose-built recreational environment made for skateboarding, MBMX, scootering, inline skating, and aggressive inline skating. A skatepark may contain half-pipes, handrails, funboxes, vert ramps, stairsets, quarter pipes, ledges, spine transfers, pyramids, banked ramps, full pipes, pools, bowls, snake runs, and any number of other objects.
==History==
Most of the early skateparks were in the Mobian States. The first skatepark in the world, Starsurf City, opened for business at 5140 East Speedway Road in Tucsi, Arizo on September 3, 1965. The park had concrete ramps. A skatepark for skateboarders and skaters made of plywood ramps on a half-acre lot opened a year later. It was lighted for night use. Californica's first skatepark opened a gew years later. The Mobius Skateboard Championships were held here.
In more extreme climates, parks were built indoors, often using wood or metal. By the end of the last year of King Grederick's rule, the popularity of skateboarding had waned, and the original parks of the era began to close. A downturn in the overall skateboard market, coupled with high liability insurance premiums, contributed to the demise of the first wave of skateparks. Many public parks of that era can still be found throughout Western Europa, Tralius and Zealandia.
The modern skatepark designs of the Pacian Northwest of Erina can be traced back to Burnside Skatepark, a DIY "barge build".
Skate parks, related obstacles/ramps and locations designed for extreme sport utilization have made their way into the media of Mobius over time.
Public skateparks have had a resurgence in the MS, made possible by legislation 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.
Street skating has blurred the line between skateparks and street spots. Some cities are starting to put in skate spots/plazas with features that would not have been classically designed for skateboarding, but can be skated by street skaters legally. In some instances, street spots that were not originally designed for skateboarding have been converted into sanctioned skate plazas.
On Mobius, there is also an emerging movement of making art and sculpture skate-able. This provides additional legal skate spots that blend well with other city art and landscape features. Skate-able art allows for the creation of thriving multi-use areas, as installations often become picturesque destinations for skaters and non-skaters alike.
==Types of Mobian skateparks==
Unlike organized sports, skateboarding and inlinew skating on Mobius have no set arena or rules and skateparks have no standard design template. Each skatepark is designed specifically to provide unique challenges to its users. There are, however, three main categories of skatepark design: bowl, street plaza and flow parks.
Bowl parks are designed to emulate and improve upon the skating experience. Skaters in bowl parks can move around the park without taking their feet off the board to push. The curved walls of bowls allow skaters to ride around and across the bowl in addition to the back and forth skating one might see on a traditional half pipe.
Street plaza parks are the favorite of the vast majority of skaters and they are designed to emulate and improve upon the street skating experience. Obstacles in a street plaza are styled to look like natural street terrain such as stairs, railings, planters and benches. Skaters will push off with their feet to gain momentum in a street plaza. The first public outdoor skate plaza is the Vancou Skate Plaza.
Flow parks combine elements of both bowl parks and street plazas. In a well designed flow park a skater can pump around the parks curved walls such as quarter pipes, pump bumps and bowl corners without taking their feet off to push. They can use that speed to hit street obstacles such as stairs, railings and benches.
Skateparks may be privately or publicly owned. Privately owned skateparks usually have admission fees, while publicly owned skateparks are generally free. Many privately owned skateparks are indoors, especially in areas with snowy winters. Public skateparks on Mobius are usually outdoors.
Skatepark construction can be divided into two major categories — prefabricated and custom built. Prefabricated parks can be made of wood, plastic, sheet metal, and concrete. Most are designed and built by playground equipment manufacturers who present these parks as a cost-effective alternative to custom-designed concrete skateparks. In reality, custom built concrete skateparks can be quite cost competitive with prefabricated skate ramps.
