Lakeland Hills Skatepark-Dallas



Street Course

Half-Pipe

This week I visited Dallas' Lakeland Hills skatepark. The skatepark is located about fifteen minutes from downtown Dallas. The skatepark is really small; there is not one ramp that is over six feet tall. It is by far the smallest skatepark I have skated. But if you happen to be in the area and are looking for a quick session, Lakeland Hills skatepark is still a fun skate.

• 4ft mini-ramp

Park Description

Adjustable Grind-Box

While Lakeland Hills skatepark is not very big, it still has some fun stuff to skate. The ramps are made out of metal which is unique compared to other outdoor/public skateparks. The metal seems to skate faster than concrete. I had fun messing around with their adjustable grind box. It was interesting to see all the different ways I could set it up. The mini-ramp has a quater-pipe connected to it which made transferring to-and-from each of the ramps fun. Lakeland Hill's low transitions and lack of skaters makes the park ideal for someone who is just starting to skate.
