I am a firm believer that skateparks are a great idea for kids (and grown up kids!), keeping them away from naughtier pursuits.
I was involved with the setting up of the Playsation skatepark under the Westway, and it had so many beneficial affects for the local kids, and definitely helped keep a fair few from straying.
Would be great to see something like the Skate Plaza, and Safespot Skate Parks, that Rob Drydek was behind in the US.
Reigate has a cracking little skate park, in the priory grounds (bit like clapham common kind of space), that i think is a really good example of a well thought out park, which fits into the community. The council even organise free skateboard lessons, and safety sessions at the park
