I haven't been in a LONG time, so I can't confirm if it's still there, but the skate park at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville used to have a decent half pipe.

Edit: Scratch that. Just saw a recent image and it looks like they took the half pipe out.

that one was kind of weird anyway, it didnt have nearly enough flat-bottom so it was kinda awkward to ride. by the time youre coming down from one side you were going straight back up the other with no time to think in the middle.

this ones a little out of the way, but Colonial Heights skatepark has a pretty new miniramp. they used to have an 8ft halfpipe but it got really beat up and worn out over the years so they recently took it down and replaced it with a keen ramps mini. its only about 3-4ft high but its pretty fresh

It's been so long that I had forgotten about how awkward it was. When I was in high school I went down the ramp in a wheelchair. It was ill-advised and all I can say in my defense is Jackass was wildly popular at the time.
