Southside Skatepark, in South Houston, has been there for ever and I didn't know it. I was not a skater, I was doing group sports learning to play nice, learning to be a team player, and learning to lose gracefully. A load of crap. Individual sports is where it's at. Teach them individualism, to work hard for what they want. My daughter is a lady and she is learning to skate like a boss. She falls and she gets back up to try, try, and try again. Don't worry she also is learning all the other stuff on hear roller derby team. We enjoy many skate parks, but because of the proximity of this one to our home it's a winner. Indoors too, rain or shine she can skate. Plus they have a shop to buy our skating needs. She just got her first real board and they fixed it up for her. It is an expensive sport. She's costing me way more on a monthly basis then her brothers cost several years of playing sports on city teams. She is usually the only girl here, I thought that would make her uncomfortable but most of the guys give her tips. Love her new skate friends!

Following the hike, I relaxed and appreciated the water. During one visit, I encountered a diver who collected various items. Also have a place to rinse off and change. Camping sites and boating are available to rent. The park's safety is assured through routine checks by the rangers, which I find reassuring. Although alligators were spotted, they maintained a distance.

Since it was a holiday, it was booked way in advance and I would highly recommend everyone to do that. It's a bit of a drive from Houston, but once inside, I felt it was worth it. I had no idea it was even out here. There are fees to enter as well as fees for areas you want to rent for yourself. Huntsville State Park is located in the Sam Houston National Forest and is filled with beautiful trees, hiking trails and lakes. On the lake, you can fish, canoe and even swim. There is a designated spot for swimming which we saw but did not partake in. There is no lifeguard, so swim at your own risk and beware of the alligators. There are plenty of trails that can keep you busy for days. If you're into camping, there have plenty of campsites, including some screened shelter. The screened shelter plot we rented was spacious and had amenities like picnic tables, grill, water hookup, amp hookup, and restrooms and shower facilities nearby. It was a great setup for our large group. We had plenty of space to play, set up some little pools for the kiddos and eat without anybody being right on top of us. After coming here, I realized I need to take advantage of all the state parks in our amazing state and escape the hustle and bustle of the city every once in awhile. I would visit this place again for sure.

Dog park review:…read more This park is great if you want some space for your dog to roam/run around in. I believe the dog park for big dogs is 2 acres (?) or something like that. They have kiddie pools you can fill up with water, over by the hose to the side. There is a fire hydrant that mists water when you press down on the button. There are benches/places to sit throughout the park, with the largest being the gazebo at the front, near the fence. If you ever want to host some sort of puppy gathering, this would be the place to do it. Plenty of room!

Other features include water fountains, benches and a shaded patio area for spectators. Under sunny skies and amid a festival-like atmosphere, the City of College Station on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011 officially opened and named its newest attraction: The G. Hysmith Skate Park. The park's namesake is Garrett Hysmith, an energetic College Station boy who, by the time he died in 2005 at age 13, had bravely fought brain cancer for four years. He loved music and Boy Scouts, but was most passionate about skateboarding. Two years after his death, his closest friends embarked on what they would dub Operation Garrett: Convincing the College Station City Council to include a skate park as part of a bond package that would go before voters. In 2008, 65 percent of those voters embraced the idea at the ballot box. Operation Garrett would, indeed, create a proper place for skateboarders -- a $920,000 facility -- to safely practice and perfect their sport.

My kids definitely enjoy not only the skate races but also the sock races. The music is a good mix of old and new. We attended on a Friday during spring break with their Friday Home School Session; skating from 10-4PM (skates included) for $10 bucks. It's a steal even if you are only there a couple hours. They have some food options that are pretty inexpensive compared to today's going rates. Foutain drink is $2 (small) $2.50 (regular). Can't give many details on other food as we just grabbed drinks.
