Shaylah Dame Skatepark-Round Rock

Quarter-Pipe
The tour moves on to one of the smaller skateparks, Shaylah Dame. The skatepark is fourteen-thousand square feet and has a small street course, and a huge bowl. The park is usually pretty empty due to the recent opening of both Northeast Metro and House skatepark. The lack of skaters at the skatepark made it easy to session the obstacle of my choice. So if you are looking to have a private session with your friends, Shaylah Dame is for you.


Features

  • Mini-street course
  • Bowl

Hours

6am-11pm

Street Course

Park Description

The skatepark has a street-course which consists of a quarter-pipe, three ledges, and two handrails. The flow of the course left me wishing that there was a little more to skate, but I still had quite a bit of fun considering I was one of five people skating the park. I did not have to worry about getting snaked, which is rare at a skatepark. The bowl is almost as big as the street course, with transitions ranging from four-to-twelve feet. The bowl also has a small full-pipe connected to it, but due to the placement of it, it exists more for looks than for skating.

Huge Bowl

    I have a few questions to consider, it seems that most of these skateparks feature quarter pipes; are you also going to cover those that have half pipe as well? Are there even skateparks that have half pipes?

    Bowls are a form of half pipe, the only difference between a bowl and a halfpipe is the two quaterpipes are connected with transition on a bowl. If you look at the post for House and Lakeland hills I have posted pictures of half-pipes ( Two quaterpipes facing each other to make a "U" shape)
