Houston Skate Spot – Jersey Village

The Vogel Creek Houston Skate Spot outside Houston in Jersey Village, Texas represents the cooperation of a local Water Utility District and its neighborhood. Providing an active youth park for the community filled a need to the residents. At roughly 3,000 square feet, the skate spot resembles a skate path connecting an existing, jogging trail in the park space next to the water utility district. Suspended, artistic features, manual pads, rails, ledges and the use of integral concrete color have created a visually inspiring public space under the shade of mature oak trees.

SPA Skateparks partnered with New Line Skateparks and met with the utilities district and their appointed engineering firm to design a skate park area that compliments new features built concurrently with the skate spot. A centrally located pavilion, exercise stations, barbeques and a playscape compliment the Vogel Creek Park Improvements Project. 

Skate spots can provide many or most of the “essential” skate features in a much smaller footprint. Design plays an integral role when creating modern-day concrete skate parks.  Attention to placement and quality is typically considered more of a priority to skateboarders than the quantity of features. Larger metroplexes and cities are implementing 5 to 10 year skate park master plans. These plans include an array of small skate spots, a few community skate parks and a central destination-scale skate park. 

Next time you’re in the Houston area, be sure to visit the Vogel Creek Skate Park.
