How to Choose a Skate park
Extreme sports have been the in thing for a while now and the youth love to test the limits of their skills. The sense of achievement that one gets after performing unusual feats is often the motivator behind taking up such sports.
As the craze for these sports is on the rise, so is the business factor related to them. Whether we like it or not, everything that has a following has a market and ultimately the business factor gets involved into it. There are many facilities that have been built to accommodate the needs of such enthusiasts and are known as skate parks.
If you love to do the tricks with your BMX bike or have the urge to manoeuvre your skateboard, its best that you do it in one of these skate parks which are designed for just that purpose. You must, however, keep a few things in mind when it comes to selecting a skate park.

1
Location
Location is the first thing you will have to take into consideration. You will have to choose one which is close to where you reside so that you can frequently travel to it and have no issues with the ability to get to it. If you choose a good park but one that needs a ride to drop you of, it may not be a great idea.

Type of Park
Although the skate parks are more of general purpose, some of these are based around a certain type of sport. Make sure that the park you are going to choose is one that is friendly to the sport you are taking part in. If the park is for BMX bikes and you are a skater, it may be a good idea to look for another one.

Environment
Make sure that the park caters to enthusiasts only and is not dominated by trouble makers. You will find guys looking for a fight in such places and if the administration is not strict on checking these guys, the place may well be dominated by them. Make sure that the skate park has a friendly environment and is not dominated by any groups.

Price
Make sure that the park not only has good facilities but also has a price that you can afford. There are going to be parks that will offer you every facility that you will need but they could well be costing much more than you would like to pay. Make sure that the budget is clearly defined and you choose a park based on that consideration as well.
