Park Skating in the RGV part 2 (Valley skatepark finder)

 

Rio Grande Valley skate park list. 

The Valley isn’t as small as we think. Check this list to find a park near you or the best place for a skating day trip.

If you inline skate, roller skate, skateboard, BMX or even scooter this list might come in handy if you want to explore a new spot and test your skills. 

Keep in mind I wrote this in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic so some of these parks might be closed or restricted. Use your best judgment and be safe! Know your limits but keep pushing 🙂 

I’ve haven’t been to most of these spots yet so please comment on the park you love, like or hate about each of these spots. We’ll see you out there!

 

p.s. learn skate etiquette, make sure you don’t get in anyone’s way, don’t cut anyone off and just be friendly!
