We made a trip out to see the progress on the new skatepark in spring or actually Greenspoint. Things seem to be coming along well. Not too much to see but I thought it would be nice to share a few photos I took. I look forward to riding the concrete waves.
Finally the park has been approved to be built in greenspoint. Now this is how you help the community.
Below is an article on the spring skateboard park that is about to be scratched for a new Greenspoint mall if we don’t act NOW. Do we really need a new mall?

Thanks to the city of Buda and parks director Jack Jones the family friends of Jackson for their involvement to make the dream of building this park come true.
