I dont actually know if many places have these but this is the planned design for a wheelchair park that is going to be built in Hampshire in the UK. A childrens charity has donated the funding for the wheelchair specific skateboard park.
What a great way to exercise and have fun! 
'Daredevil activities'
Designer Jeremy Donaldson from contractor Wheelscape created designs using slopes at the same angle as a wheelchair ramp - three degrees - after meeting with students at the college.
Petersfield Town Council has approved the plans and a further planning application to East Hampshire District Council will be submitted this month.
Chief executive of the charity Action For Kids Graham Duncan said: "There is no reason to prevent any young person with a disability from even the most daredevil of activities enjoyed by others.
"We hope that local authorities, charities and providers of sports amenities will follow this example.
