Minnesota Skateboard Parks in towns way smaller than Brainerd

Here are some pictures of skateboard parks in small towns in Minnesota. Please be sure to notice the population size of the towns with skate parks.  My question is why Brainerd doesn't have a skateboard park?

Marshall, MN: population 13,483 (2013)
