The Edge Skatepark – Allen, Texas
Located on the south end of Allen Station Park, The Edge complex features a concrete skate park, two roller-hockey rinks, a BMX track, and a visitor center.
One of the largest skate parks in Texas, The Edge offers thrilling experiences for anyone with a skateboard, scooter, skates, or BMX bike. In addition to outdoor skate park areas, The Edge is home to an indoor facility open to ages 10-17 with foosball and pool tables, video gaming systems, and a snack bar. Access to the facility and skate park is free, with payment required for some programs and camps.
The park was designed with several large bank slope areas for beginners to practice on. But don’t worry, there are plenty of places to pull off advanced techniques for the pros out there.
Visitor Center and Media Room
The visitor center has a media room, computer lab, game room, and snack bar. The skate park is now the largest outdoor facility of its kind in the state.
If you are an Allen resident, for $10 a year you can use the visitor center lounge and the media room as much as you want. For non-residents, it is $20/year. The media room inside the visitor center features several tables, a sofa, billiard and foosball tables, and four, 27-foot televisions. There is also a snack bar inside where you can get a variety of snacks after working up an appetite at the park.
