House Skatepark-Austin
 |
| Street Course |
This week on the tour I will be visiting Texas' second newest skatepark, House Park. House skatepark is located about thirty-five minutes from Northeast Metropolitan skatepark, and is worthy of a skate session if you are ever in the Austin area. It was designed by Canadian designer New Line Skateparks, and built by Prism Development and California Skateparks. The thirty-thousand square foot skatepark was voter approved and cost a mere 1.7 million dollars (1).

Park Description

| Back of Spine-Bowl |
House skatepark has a street course that flows better than most public skateparks, with two pyramid ledges pointing in each direction, some lengthy granite ledges, and plenty of transition it is a hard to not have fun skate House. It was surprising to see a regular mini-ramp at the skatepark, most public skateparks only have bowl ramps. House Park succeeds when it comes to creating a skateable bowl. The transition height, which ranges from six-to-ten feet, makes the ramp extremely skater friendly. If you happen to BMX, House is one of the few skateparks that allows bike use.
