'''Wheel-A-Wave Skatepark''' was a skate park that opened in December [[1977]] on [[West Valley Avenue]] in [[Homewood]]. According to [[Dale Torok]] it was, at the time, the second-largest in the United States.

In addition to various concrete basins and mounds, the park had a concession booth and pinball machines. Helmets and pads were mandatory for skaters, who paid an admission fee to skate.
