Balcones Skate Park is a small, gated neighborhood spot that’s especially good for beginners and for practicing on mellow mini/quarter-pipe style ramps. Expect a rough, cracked concrete skating surface and mixed restroom cleanliness, so bring your own supplies and be ready for a quieter visit unless there’s a birthday party.

Features
Mini Ramp
Park is gated and closes at sunset (some reviews mention closing at 8). Restrooms are mentioned but have mixed cleanliness reports; some say they are clean, others say abysmally filthy or locked. No dogs allowed. Trees provide shade. Reviews repeatedly request resurfacing/repaving due to widespread cracking and craters that can damage wheels; some mention the mini ramp/quarter pipes are mellow.
