OH Dan B Colorado, It would be cool to talk to you since you are just a few hours away if you are still considering an indoor skatepark. And anyone else interested in giving advice on Taos, NM indoor park idea. I am tossing around whether to make it not for profit, or for profit based on community needs what would be best for both economy and people… with inclusion of a few other services.

I have been looking into the idea/plausibility of an indoor park here in Taos, NM. So this thread is totally amazing. Thank you for all the great info. And so glad to hear about the Chi-town park as I grew up in the burbs of Chicago and skated many great sessions in the city there. So awesome. Anyway, I really felt to make a note for the women on here who are thinking to open a park for their kids….. I am a women and I love kids, I have worked in preschool-elementary and I hangout with teens when I skate with them…. But when I thought about opening a park, I thought about what do I love? I love skateboarding. Opening a park would be because I love skateboarding, not because I like to make others happy – which is a very women thing to do. Please please on a personal level, for yourself – ask yourself if you love SKATEBOARDING, not if you love your son. Because opening a park for your kid’s sake may not even be the best thing for him unless he works his ass off more than you…. otherwise I hate to say it, but you’re spoiling the shit out of him. Make them do 90% of the work and you can fund it if you really want to go through with it. Make the demonstrate their dedication and interest by them taking business classes online or in school depending on age and let them write the business plan. Sure, skaters will support you – WHY? BECAUSE WE LOVE SKATEBOARDING. BUT if you don’t love skateboarding, you don’t skate and you don’t understand what that means – you’re not taking care of your own heart. What do you love? Honestly? And don’t say “I love to make other’s happy”. If you’re happiness depends on making other’s happy, you aren’t going to be happy because everyone’s happiness comes from within themselves. You can’t make other’s happy, they make themselves happy and choose to be happy around other happy people…. Just as we all choose. So please, for yourself, because I understand what it means to be a women who likes to make other’s happy…. Make yourself happy first and do what you love not what other’s love, to get love back. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it is really from my heart and guys don’t always understand us women folk…

Hey lisa,
I have alot of friends from New Haven area, I always thought it was a good spot too. There has been a few parks up in your area. There is a current park up there within a few miles from east side. HAVEN SKATEPARK, great people there so support the parks that are already there because otherwise you will just hurt business for both parties and someone will fail! Any questions contact them or email me underwoodsk8park@aol.com.

I was thinking of opening a skatepark for my son. My baby he has Sensory Intergration Disorder. He is a wild one, but when he has something amazing to explore he lights up. As a pretty kick ass Mom and Business person, I thought it would give him something that could take him somewhere. I live in East Haven, Ct and there is lack of outlets for these kids. Maybe my past of being in the Marin’s could keep the wild ones out.We’ll the dream of looks cool in my head.

I live in Alaska and there is not alot of places to skate because there is a lot of gravel roads and the winter lasts around 5 months plus there is 2 public skateparks because of this I’m planning on building a indoor skate park that is seasonal. I am considering a location next to a indoor paintball field so there is slot of young people hanging around there. Also the two parks are relatively very very small. Do you think that the location I am considering good? Tip?
