Lively Point Skatepark-Irving

The tour continues on to Lively Point skatepark located in Irving. This skatepark, like Lewisville, was built by Site Design. Lively Point is twenty-thousand square ft, and was one of the first skateparks in Texas to build a cradle (1). The skatepark is not far from downtown Irving DART train stop, making easily accessible to anyone in Dallas.

Park Description

Lively Point skatepark has a nice blend of transition and street skating elements. One side starts with a twenty foot wide bank ramp, goes to a line of rails and ledges, and then ends at an eight foot quarter-pipe. The course flows nicely, making it possible to include any or all ramps, rails, and ledges in a single run. Lively Point also does a good job at making the skatepark suitable for all skills levels without making it to obvious. If you are ever in the Irving area Lively Point is definetly worth a session.
