Skatopia 77 Tapestries
Main Tag:
Description: Throughout the '70s, competitive skateboarding continued to gain popularity which led to purpose-built skateparks being constructed across America and it should come as no surprise that California played host to the majority of them. Buena Park’s Skatopia was one such example and an upscale one at that. This full service (and fully landscaped) facility was a $500,000 skatepark when it opened in 1977 and without question raised the bar for skateparks and the sport. The facility welcomed countless kids and adults alike who ripped it up on their concrete bowls every day of the week and was the site of numerous championships and competitions over the years.
