The Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark is a state-of-the-art 30,000 square foot in-ground public facility, thought to contain the largest cradle in the nation. Clark Condon & Associates of Houston and Grindline, Seattle-based skatepark design specialists, teamed up to create the park design. Houston’s new skateboarding facility provides the first world-class, in-ground skatepark in our region, and has vaulted the city to the forefront of American venues for this fast-growing, dynamic sport. The park has areas for skaters of all levels, from the seasoned pro to the beginner – skaters can work on their kick flip, ollie, fakie big spin...or simply learn to stay balanced!
Don't miss the displays of urban art located along “Skater Alley,” the winding walkway between Sabine Street and the skatepark entrance. The Houston Parks Board teamed-up with the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art to coordinate the display of five large panels showcasing urban art created by local aerosol artists.
Many thanks to:
The Jamail Family, Nina and Michael Zilkha, Mindy and Jeff Hildebrand, Laura and Tom Bacon, Jim Petersen, PUSH, City of Houston, Houston Convention and Entertainment District, Huffington Foundation, and Houston Downtown Management District, and many others.
