Owners of the land that housed Memphis, Tennessee’s Al Town DIY skatepark who were worried about the large turn-out for Go Skateboarding Day on June 21, 2010 decided instead to shut the place down, according to a story in the Commercial Appeal.
But on June 21, you didn’t have to be a skateboarder to notice something special about Al Town: the “No Trespassing” signs and police cars that showed up just in time for international Go Skateboarding Day. . . Al Town had been shut down.
The City of Memphis has money set aside for a skatepark, but as happens all over the world, they can’t seem to find the right place for it.

We now have a location for our public skate park! It will open next summer.
