The tour continues on to one of Texas' newest skateparks, Northeast Metropolitan, which just opened its doors on September 18 (1). What makes the park so unique is that it is an outdoor skatepark that skates like an indoor skatepark.

8am-10pmPark Description
Northeast Metropolitan skatepark was not an easy skatepark to find, but once I did I was glad that I was persistent. The skatepark is a fifteen minute drive from downtown Austin on Pecan St and 130. Once you turn into Northeast Metropolitan Park be patient and follow the road all the way to the end past the soccer and football fields.
Triple Bowl |
Northeast Metropolitan Skatepark has one of the most unique bowls I have seen. It is three connected six feet bowls, and two of the three sides have matching tombstones. It is a must skate for intermediate-to-expert skaters.

I live in Round Rock (just north of Pflugerville) and I had no idea about this park! When I started Freeline Skating, I looked around and found this small one in Round Rock:

But while it probably doesn't get as busy as the one you talk about here, it's much larger. Thanks for the heads-up!
