Garland Texas Skatepark 2021 Update!
It seems like there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the opening of the long anticipated Garland Skatepark in Garland, Texas. This unknown makes sense when you consider that it has been on the books since 2004 when the motion passed in a bond election. I decided to go straight to the source and talk to the Garland Parks & Recreation department to try and get an updated timeframe as to when we can expect to finally skate this park.
Check out the video below for my history on the skatepark’s sordid past, as well as an interview with Ziad Kharrat from the City of Garland Parks & Rec department. You can also see artist renderings of the skatepark which is slated to open in summer 2022!
