			<title>Ladybay Skatepark</title>
			<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.empaf.com/images/news/2011/07/ladybay_skatepark/small.jpg" alt="Article: Ladybay Skatepark" /></p><p>The enduring and successful marriage of urban art and action sports is fostered in and around skate parks worldwide, with each enterprise representing a variety of disciplines and attributes. While action sports promote respect, perseverance and exercise, urban art aims to uplift, inspire and educate the public for free, whilst endeavouring to regenerate the urban landscape. These positive and constructive forms of self expression contribute on individual, community and cultural levels, and&#160;appeal to people from all walks of life, young and old alike.</p>]]></description>
