Camp Bethel Synergy Skatepark

There are a lot of skaters within the boundaries of Wise County, however without a spot to practice their sport many people don't even know they exist. The skaters pick up their boards and their families and travel to Kingsport, Abingdon, and as far away as Rogersville to practice their sport. Action sports are not Just a hobby or a fad anymore, they're here to stay! They started in the 1950's and have been growing dramatically every since. The total number of individuals engaged in action sports in 2000 was well over 32.5 million, that is twice as many youth who are playing baseball. Skateboarding is the quickest-growing extreme sport in the U.S. This growth has occurred because of the overall action sports trend, the activities appeal as a spectator sport, expanded TV coverage for skateboarding, and it's high visibility in the video game market. Extreme sports are athletic, social, challenging, safe and clean. The only thing that distinguishes these activities from others like baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, is that the participants have no spot to play in Wise County! It's no wonder that so many of our areas athletes use public property to practice their sport. The goal of a skate park is to get them off of street and public property where they pose risks to themselves and the community and into a skate park where they can challenge themselves in a safer environment. 6' Tall Quarter pipe _ 16' Wide 6' Tall half pipe _ 24' Wide Removeable Overhang _ 4' Wide 5' Bank with Center Quarter _ 16?
