Hailey, Idaho
 Opening day at the Hailey, Idaho skate park |

Hailey, just south of Ketchum/Sun Valley, Idaho, is home to a medium-sized, 12,500 sq. foot facility, which has already generated international attention in the form of multiple skateboarding videos, top class athletes including Tony Hawk, Danny Way, and been the topic of a widely popular skateboarding movie ("Northwest," by Nichols/Charnoski). With its inclusion of a full radius concrete pipe 16 feet in diameter—the first of its kind to be built in over 25 years west of the Mississippi—and a 16 foot roll-in with handrails, this park represents a satisfying return for this community's dedicated hard work. |

Skatepark Committee Chairman Hailey, Idaho. |
| "Dreamland has proven quite easy to work with, very professional. They were faced with a committee of concerned parents, and they really took the time and attention to allay fears, giving tours and addressing specific issues, and in the end they won some strong allies. Their community spirit is solid, and their construction quality is unmatched." | |
