Skate Facility/Pool combo featured at Lady Bird Johnson Park

San Antonio skated into a new era in skate park facilities when skateboarding aficionados joined with City officials in opening the City’s first skate/pool facility at Lady Bird Johnson Park, 10700 Nacogdoches Road, on Feb. 21.

The skate/pool facility is one of the first in the country to combine a swimming pool and skate bowl to provide a multi-use facility. The cost was $613,500 funded with park bonds.

The skate facility features include a 7,000 square-foot skate bowl ranging from five to nine feet deep; a 1,800-square foot deck with five-foot quarter pipe ramp; a five- foot bun pyramid and two portable features that are moved into the pool during the off-season. The pool is a 25-meter Junior Olympic pool with five swim lanes and two zero-depth entry or beach areas with multiple spray jets. It is four and a half feet deep at the deepest point.

The pool is incorporated into the skate park except during the swim season during the summer months. At that time fencing is erected to separate the pool from the skate facility. Entry into both components is free.
