Houston has a great skate scene and a cool skateboarding history. In the late eighties and early nineties, the Skatepark Of Houston (which no longer exists) was host to the legendary Shut Up And Skate contests which saw professional skateboarders from all over the world come to Houston to compete. This is all that was needed to spark the Houston skate scene on fire which has been burning strong ever since.

Today, there are several great skateparks in Houston that include big bowls, street courses, and street plaza designs. Up until the year 2020, Houston even held the record for the biggest skatepark in the United States!

There is truly a skatepark that will appeal to every type of skateboarder in this city. No doubt Houston will continue to build more great skateparks and create skateboarding opportunities for the local community. However for now, these are the five best skateparks in Houston.
