Houston Chronicle August 14, 2014 – Years of work caught air Thursday as over a thousand skateboarders rolled in for opening day at Spring Skatepark, a football-field-sized concrete jungle dotted with bowls and gnarly obstacles, crowned by a 360-degree pipe.  The sprawling park, the largest in North America, emulates an urban environment with its stairs, handrails and benches. Included in the design are a 12-foot vertical ramp, a 10-foot-deep bowl, a Texas-shaped bowl and a “lazy river”-style pathway accessible to even the most novice skateboarders. Shredders as young as 6 showed up for the opening.  “We’re going to draw skateboarders from all over the world,” predicted Sally Bradford, executive director of the Greenspoint Redevelopment Authority, as she watched a young skateboarder slide his deck along a low-slung rail. “It absolutely is a huge amenity for the city. We now have two world-class skate parks just 25 miles apart. The parks are meant to work together.”  With its 78,000 square feet of skate surface, the admission-free Spring Skatepark on Kuykendahl is one of the largest in the world. It was designed by Grindline, the Seattle firm that also designed the 25,000-square-foot Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark just west of downtown Houston.  The $6.5 million Greenspoint project, which includes the adjacent Dylan’s Park with its playground for special needs children, has been in development since 2009.  “Houston now is Skateboard City, Texas,” skateboard supporter and investment banker Barry Blumenthal said. The Spring and Jamail parks “represent the equivalent for skate tourists of Vail and Beaver Creek for snowboarders and skiers.”
