Built without permission, by skateboarders and later sanctioned by the city, Burnside is the preeminent example of action.  Burnside's unique growth and evolution -through the sweat and blood of a handful of dedicated individuals- have matured into one of the best skateparks in the world.  Burnside and its creators are true pioneers, setting the stage for community built skateparks across the country.

     Like a magnifying glass in the sun, Burnside can witness a concentration of skill level unmatched anywhere.  You can see crazy, crazy things there.  Go, watch, learn, be humbled, excited and inspired.  It is amazing.
