Wanda - Do you have kids that skateboard or rollerblade? If so, they might be interested in this.
A skate park is a place for skateboarding, roller blading (& sometimes biking). It has ramps and jumps of varying sizes and difficulties. Some have "bowls", which are kind of like a big empty swimming pool to ride in. They also have grind rails and fun boxes, which are flat wooden boxes with metal around the edges to slide across on your skateboard or roller blades. The different parks have different configurations of ramps, jumps, bowls, rails, boxes, etc. so that no two are just alike. We've been to outdoor parks, some indoor ones which were not air-conditioned and hot as blazes. Some are rather trashy looking... The two indoor parks we found in Pensacola were really nice by comparison to some we've seen. They were clean, well-maintained and well run. Cost is $10.00 for the day, and you can leave and come back later. My kids & their friends are really into this. They build various home-made ramps & jumps to practice at home, but its just not the same as a park with well-built equipment. Keep in mind this is for the adventurous, daring type. Kids who just skate up and down the street would likely be a bit overwhelmed. It takes awhile to get the hang of it and they fall alot at first. I'm okay with that if they are, so they do it. My sons are 10 & 15, but we've seen 5 year olds out there with the big guys (those are usuallyl kids that have older brothers...). Anyway, if you are interested in checking it out, let me know and I'll send you the names and info on them.
