The Venice Beach Skatepark is a public skatepark located in Venice, Los Angeles. It opened in late 2009.[1][2][3][4] It is also officially known as the Dennis "Polar Bear" Agnew Memorial Skatepark, named after famed Z-Boy skater Dennis Agnew. The 16,000 square foot park is located near Windward Avenue and Ocean Front Walk street. The skate park features steps, rails, and bowls that resemble empty swimming pools. The park cost $3.4 million to build, and the funds came from the sale of surplus city property in Venice. [5]
