 It can be difficult to create a vision for
your community. How many skateparks does your area need? How big should
they be? How many skaters are there? Without these fundamental answers
how can you be sure that your skatepark won't be a vicitim of its own
success as it's overwhelmed with eager skaters all day, every day?
The Skatepark Adoption Model is a simple formula that will provide a simple recommendation for communities of any size. You can also use the SAM to see how your community measures up to your skatepark need! Check it out in the Vision Chapter.

There are only a few places left in the world where one may not consider skateboarding as part of popular youth culture like Kampala, Uganda, for example. Landlocked and one of the poorest
countries in the world, Uganda is bordered by countries with their own
share of troubles; Sudan, Tanzania, and Rwanda, among others. Kampala, Uganda's capital, has a working class suburb called Kitintale which is
home to Uganda’s first and only skatepark. Not only do they have a skatepark but, like nearly every other skatepark, it has become so popular that project is planning for their second expansion in two years.
Uganda's first skatepark. More to follow.

past 40 years for children and teens, raising their risk of diabetes

being diagnosed with high blood pressure.
