skate parks

Concrete bowl venues

Skate parks are outdoor or indoor facilities designed for skateboarding, featuring ramps, rails, half-pipes, and other structures for performing tricks.

Most cities now have public skate parks, though private ones also exist.

The term extends to similar facilities for BMX bikes, inline skates, and scooters: The kids spent all afternoon at the skate park.
