[4] On April 1, 2012, SPoT announced on its website that the park had been purchased (for US$9.3 million) by rapper Lil Wayne.

The "beginner's course" features many smaller rails and ramps to expand skateboarding skills and also includes the famous bowl.

[10] In July 2016, Epic Problem held its last show and passed the torch to King State coffee, owned by Tim McTague, of Underoath and Nate Young, of Anberlin, who use the space for brewing.

[11] In March 2017, the SPoT Snack Bar was expanded and reconstructed into a full-fledged music venue and renamed "Transitions".

Transitions held its first show during the 23rd Annual Tampa Pro contest that featured the music of Ray Barbee.
