Broken Arrow public skatepark opens
Just as one longtime youth entertainment center was being torn down in Tulsa, Oklahoma, another was completed in the adjacent city of Broken Arrow. Bells Amusement Park had lost its 50 year lease in Central Tulsa, and its trademark Zingo rollercoaster was dismantled just as Ideal Skateparks poured concrete at the Nienhuis Public Skatepark not more than 10 miles away.
The 12,600 SF Broken Arrow skatepark sports a minibowl and street course with banks, stairs, handrails, and quarterpipes. The grand opening featured a professional skateboard demo by the 1031 Team. The Nienhuis public skatepark is the most northern concrete skatepark in the state and joins the ranks of just two other concrete skate facilities in Oklahoma.
