So I'll start by saying I'll never give a skate park a 1 star unless there is nothing there to…read moreskate. But I will say that this place is very deceiving from the videos and pics that were previously reviewed. This is a small park; please don't expect more. There is unique parts the park and that's cool but the flow of the park is really just 1 or 2 directions that's all. If this is the only park you know then I'm sure you make the best of the situation but if you've been to other parks in Austin and the surroundings areas then you know what I'm saying. This park is shake-able of course but the luster does die down fairly quickly. To compare it to another small skatepark, the park on well branch; small but the flow of the park is really nice with an A-frame on one side and a nice stair set on the other side, mellow U-shaped bowl in the middle to carve back into the half pipe, with roll in's on both sides of that. That park is one of the better smaller parks, but so much you can do to have a great expertise for hours. This park doesn't hold up to that...unless you truly love transition. That's where this park gets its glory back, the transition here is pretty unique and seems to be fun and spacious enough to have a bunch fun. But Cole out and check it out for yourself and you be the judge for the toe off skating you enjoy!

I come here for a variety of activities the best part is that they have a batting cage for you to use. I see families over at the playground all of the time there are walking trails right behind the park I even have rode along the trails behind the park also. It does get a little crowded when baseball season is active but generally things are pretty vacant and well-kept. Another great perk is that there are bathrooms on either end of the park.

Great park! I love the skatepark here and the fields ! Such a cool park ! Some nice trails tooread more

Free, public facility like this is what makes Austin so awesome. Since the park just opened,…read moreeverything was new & clean. The park has a bowl and various ramps, catering to experienced and novice alike. Parks like this tends to draw more skateboards than BMX. This park was no different - I think 80% were skaters. But I didn't see any hostility between skaters and bikers. And no one was territorial and acted as if they own the park. Even when little kids (under 5) got on to ride around, no one got mad at them or threw any attitude. Overall, everyone was pretty cool and were there just to have fun. If you go, few suggestions. 1) Wear at least a helmet. I didn't see any crashes, but as safety precaution, protect your head - especially if you have a little one. 2) Bring water - lots of it. There is no water fountain at the park (but a 7-11 just few blocks down). 3) Go early, especially if you have kids. Afternoon tends to draw out bigger kids/adults so it could be more dangerous if you have smaller kids. If you go early, it's still open enough that your kids can enjoy the park without worrying about getting in other people's ways. 4) Be careful if you're allergic to bee stings. Lots of empty soda cups draw bees. Even though the cleaning crew emptied out trash cans, I saw a lot of bees buzzing around. Couple of negatives - there is no shade so in the summer, it'll be HOT, especially when the sun bounces off the white concrete. Parking could be a challenge - we went on a Sunday so we were able to park at the lot (but requires a permit from Austin Rec Center on weekdays).

It can feel a little isolated / sketchy in the mornings - there are often very few or no people around + I feel a bit exposed there with just my toddler (+ I'm not prone to it!). The afternoons are busier (although not crowded by any means) - and feel more comfortable. The playscape is regularly sanitised + there are parks + rec workers around keeping things clean. The trail is great - and a less crowded option than town lake at the moment if you want to mix up your run.

Saturday afternoon, I took my 6 year old nephew to this park. It is indeed a Play for all…read more.. It was not as busy as I thought. Parking was great. We parked close to the entrance. My nephew was extremely excited!!I noticed that everything was thoroughly thought out. The entrance gate is slightly heavy (two to pass through. Other area were the same (heavy gates to prevent kids from entering the paved areas without permission & help. There were several areas to play: sensory areas, sand box (large), agility, strength training for the littles, and a cute township area where kids can ride (provided mini bikes) bikes or scooters in the "city". The imagination stations were adorable. Most areas were covered well. They had several restrooms and water stations. Seating for birthdays and such. I didn't have time to take pictures. But it's true to the website. I highly recommend it!

Very tempting playground. In fact, I even tested it out - small climbing wall and twirly slide passed my inspection. A child on a bike arrived shortly after. I promptly left as if I didn't just go "weeeee" on the slide. There's also a nice splash pad and skating area which I thought were cool. In one area, there's a pond with some ducks. Then there's a soccer field close to the cemetery. Oh yeah, there's also a cemetery which I think is a bit weird in terms of city planning. But hey, I guess that doesn't stop people from coming and enjoying a nice park.

There is plenty of parking but it does get busy at times so we like to go earlier in the day. Lots of covered pavilion areas with picnic tables that you can use if they aren't reserved; and of course the amazing trail/park that stretches for miles. There is a lake as well and you can catch people fishing , kayaking etc. I've found the park to be clean and well maintained each time we go. In the summer, they open up the splash pad which has been recently upgraded and it's awesome. For sure one of my favorite park areas in the Cedar Park/Austin area. Definitely check this one out.

Designed for all skill levels, this competition-quality skate park on Rock Prairie Road in College…read moreStation, TX consists of a large pro-style flow bowl, a pool bowl with tile and pool coping, and a long linear street course with hundreds of feet of unique terrain and scalable elements. 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.
