Great shot of the Kona Skatepark sign from Concretins.. Kona is the oldest continuously operating skatepark and will be celebrating their 30th Anniversary July 6-8. Thanks to SkateDaily for the heads up.

Update: Link to Kona Skatepark timeline on The Florida Times-Union web site, Jacksonville.com titled “The Ups and Downs of Kona Skatepark.”

  1. Hey, we finally got a full report from Gimpy’s Kona experience! http://www.Concretins.com

  2. I rode that park when it opened and through the 80s. Some of my best summers were spent skating & jumping my BMX bike at Kona!!!

  3. I just posted a link to the Kona Skatepark timeline in a Florida newspaper.

  4. Heh, grinding poles.

  5. Check this out:

    2003: Noticing that original Kona skaters are bringing their kids to the park, Kona institutes a “parents skate free” policy.

    Excellent!

  6. I get that at gymnastics meets but I always forget my leotard.
