30 year-old skatepark
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.”
Hey, we finally got a full report from Gimpy’s Kona experience! http://www.Concretins.com
Soma.
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!!!
I just posted a link to the Kona Skatepark timeline in a Florida newspaper.
Heh, grinding poles.
Check this out:
2003: Noticing that original Kona skaters are bringing their kids to the park, Kona institutes a “parents skate free” policy.
Excellent!
I get that at gymnastics meets but I always forget my leotard.
