The world's oldest privately-owned skatepark, Kona still
boasts it's original concrete Snake Run from the late '70s. In the
30 years since it's construction, Jacksonville's legendary park has made its
mark on the world of skating by playing host to some of the sport's top
shredders, including Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, and Christian Hosoi. But don't
worry if you're new to the sport, Kona offers free classes for beginners every
Saturday morning.

Snake Run, which drops 100 feet by the time you travel its
700 yards from top to bottom
The Tombstone: a six-foot wall attached to a 12-foot deep
bowl
15,000-square-foot X-game style course with metal surface
10-foot-deep kidney pool
30-foot-deep bowl with 6'' tombstone extension
