Berkley V. and Vincent M. Dawson Skatepark - San Antonio, TX
Berkley V. and Vincent M. Dawson Skatepark, also known as the Bay Street Bridge Skateparks, sits right by the historic Hays Street Bridge on San Antonio's East Side. It's basically two parks in one, with a street section packed with ledges, rails, and banks, plus a transition area with a deep bowl, curved walls, and a loop for skaters looking to step things up. There's a good mix of terrain for different skill levels, and the bridge makes for a pretty unique backdrop. Free to skate, with restrooms and water fountains nearby.
