A skatepark, or skate park, is a specially designed recreational space for activities such as skateboarding, BMX, scootering, WCMX (wheelchair motocross) 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.
