Texas has an extremely long list of really good skateparks. And I mean 35 incredible ones. Even though the state is more known for its oil production, cattle farming, and minerals, the skateparks here really need to be put on the list of things Texas is famous for too.

In typical Texas fashion, the skateparks in the Lone Star State are huge. In fact, Texas actually holds the largest skatepark in the USA! These skateparks are most definitely not lacking in quality either, and Texans should consider themselves lucky to have access to such great concrete playgrounds.

We have comprised a list of the best skateparks in Texas from the biggest in the state such as North Houston to much smaller but still cool skateparks like Faulkner. With skateparks this good, skateboarding just might replace ‘Rodeo’ as the state sport if they keep building such awesome skateparks. Make sure not to steal any cows while you’re here though as it is still considered a “hanging offense”.

Best Skateparks In Texas

North Houston Skatepark

North Houston Skatepark is the real ‘big dog’ when it comes to skateparks weighing in at a whopping 78,000 square feet! This is the biggest skatepark in Texas and even the whole country for that matter (although I have a sneaking suspicion it won’t hold this title for much longer).

This skatepark consists of a twenty foot full pipe, twelve foot vert bowl, ten foot bowl, and a killer snake run. The street section is just as impressive with every kind of obstacle known to man such as ledges, hubbas, manual pads, handrails, flat bars, stair sets, A-frames, banks, and the list goes on.

Northeast Metro Skatepark

Northeast Metro Skatepark is another heavy weight coming in at 42,500 square feet! A skatepark of this size is expected to have a vast variety of features and indeed it does. If you like skating transition there are two bowls, vert walls and more. The street section has a variety of ledges, hubba ledges, manual pads, banks, stairs, handrails, flat bars, gaps, and plenty of flat ground.

Thankfully a skatepark of this size really spreads out the crowd which is nice. New Line and American Ramp Company who designed and built this skatepark did a great job with this place and it’s definitely worth hitting the next time you are north of Austin.
