It opened on April 5, 2002, and gained national recognition after the release of Tony Hawk's Secret Skatepark Tour, in which the park was featured. The park is open 24 hours everyday, and is designed with an input local taskforce. The public skatepark is owned by Louisville Metro Government and operated by Metro Parks. The park sits in the path of the future redesigned Kennedy Interchange and may have to be torn down.
