Paid outdoor skatepark with concrete surface.
(ap) pro skateboarder and mtv star rob dyrdek has unveiled a $350,000 skate park in los angeles that's the latest in his safe spot, skate spot program.
dyrdek contributed $75,000 from his foundation and los angeles city councilman jose huizar came up with the rest of the funding for the 14,000-square-foot, tri-level skate plaza at hollenbeck park just east of downtown.
dyrdek started the safe spot, skate spot program to give street skaters a legal place to ride challenging obstacles such as handrails, ledges and stairs.
the centerpiece of his new park is a nine-stair handrail.
