Park Descriptiom

The Scion skatepark is the second largest skatepark in Texas and has one of the most unique street courses of any of the public skateparks I have visited. The skatepark has a nice balance of street and vert skating, including a beginner course and a separate course for intermediate to expert skaters.


Long "C" Ledge



As you enter the park you are greeted by the beginner’s course and one of the spectating areas. As you make your way toward the back of the skatepark it gradually starts to get more complex. The obstacles that makes this park stand out are the two forty feet long c-ledges. Moving right past the c-ledges in the center of the park is a nice sub-box. And at the very end of the skatepark is the bowl.
