Seeing skateparks grow from backyards and driveways to now being the standard of "neighborhoods of the future" has been an amazing transformation. The amount of bowls, plazas, and even pump tracks has grown exponentially and with that comes the curiosity of wondering what each park has to ride before making the trek to a dropped pin on a GPS. To answer that question for some riders I've created a series of flyover videos to show what each park in the Woodlands has to offer in hopes that riders can plan a trip or imagine a session with their friends before making the journey across town, the state or even the country. Enjoy!
Bear Branch Skatepark
The crowning jewel for the Woodlands is the Bear Branch Skatepark. The bowl, the plaza, and all the combo lines in between make this park one of the most fun & frequently visited parks. This one was mastered at DCI 4K and shot with the DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Just a good day at the park to catch some laps followed by a few flight paths over the park.

Ridgewood Skatepark
A glanceable landmark of the progression of skateparks in the Woodlands is Ridgewood Skatepark. Some may see this spot as a useless legacy however from another point of view others might appreciate it for the way it represents a moment in time when skatepark construction and lack of understanding of the sports and culture of skateparks wasn't very well understood fifteen plus years ago. The silver lining is a quiet, humble set of ledges in a loop formation that can prove to be a perfect training ground to experiment and hang with friends through each other's progression of their creative goals.
Creekside Skatepark
With a blend of concrete, metal pre-fab and a jersey barrier, the Creekside park is an odd one for sure. The park straddles directly across the spillway of a manmade pond next to the Creekside park/pool however feels like very little was planned intentionally when you ride through the park. While lacking a simple flow of the park is a down side the up side is that it's another park that isn't frequented very often save a few folks fishing and the occasional local kids from nearby apartment complexes.
