Until 2015, riders of all ages were practicing their moves in the gym and drain ditches at Hill Country Evangelical Free Church, where associate pastor and youth minister Kelly Graham opened church doors to a crowd with nowhere to go.
The Fredericksburg skate park — built by the Fredericksburg Morning Rotary Club for $325,000 — completed construction in 2015 and gives local youth a place to test their skills.
Portland, Oregon-based Evergreen Skate Parks, run by longtime skateboarders Bill and Catherine Coulson, designed the park.
The City of Fredericksburg maintains the 24,000-squarefoot park, which can be entered at Old Fair Park near H-E-B.
