Skateboarding in Oxford and Anniston

My son is 16 years old and skateboards everyday. I even have to park my cars in the back yard because my son built a mini skate park in my garage. It keeps him out of trouble (I thought). The problem is - theres nowhere for him to skate around this area without someone running him and his “Boys” off or calling the police. They are good kids and respect the few small areas they are allowed to skate at and they dont vandalize the areas they sneak into. He’s not too interested in organized sports but the citys are spending millions on new ball parks and soccer fields every year. I’m sure the park would pay for itself in a few short years and would be a perfect place for him to hang out with other teens with the same interests and lifestyles.
