Kona
Saturday, 20th August 2005 by Alex Turnbull
This is Kona Skatepark in Jacksonville, Florida. It's a famous location among skateboarders, and also made a great level in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. From up here, you can make out the halfpipe, the skatebowls (including the pink one, the blue one, the kidney-shaped one), and also that bloody snake-run (I must have tried to manual down through the cones about 400 billion times before I eventually did it). Fantastic to see how accurately they re-created Kona for the game too.
Thanks to Matthew

That is awesome.
lol ive always thought it was in california! anyways i would love to skate there!
The shipyard stuff you featured recently reminded me of THPS4 as well, those big cranes and shipping containers..
This place is great. Being from Jax, I skated here when I was a kid. Amazing to think that it is 30+ years old.
Man, I have not played that game in so long..
Heh, they actually posted something I submitted. Yeah, I was bored one afternoon and looked this up, among other things. I thought it was a pretty impressive view, and as a THPS fan I had to submit it.
