A skatepark is a mostly paved area used for skating or skateboarding, with built-in features and obstacles like ramps, steps, and other challenges.
The constructed ramps and obstacles provide challenges for skating or skateboarding. A flat paved surface without that configured play purpose is different.
The area is mostly paved, without requiring every part to have the same surface. Its built-in features distinguish it from an ordinary path used to travel on skates.
