Skatepark Overview
Jon Comer Memorial Skatepark was developed as part of improvements to Rick Oden Park and opened in 2023. The layout consists of three main terrain zones: a plaza-style street area, a large transition section with multiple bowls and flowing features, and a separate beginners’ area intended for entry-level users. The beginners’ area is notable as the first designated space of its type in a Texas skatepark.
The street section includes ledges, rails, stairs, banks, and hips arranged to support a variety of lines. The transition zone incorporates bowls and sculpted features designed for speed and continuous flow. The overall design emphasizes accessibility for riders with different skill levels, including adaptive athletes.
Amenities include overhead shade structures, seating areas, and a full lighting system, allowing for morning and nighttime use. Since opening, the skatepark has served as a central riding facility for Garland and the wider North Texas region due to its size and range of terrain.
