With so much time at home last year, kids had many hours to think about new hobbies or yearn to pick up what they’d started. If one of these activities is skateboarding, we’re pretty sure the best place to enjoy it is a skatepark rather than your house entrance!
As much as we hate to admit it, our kids are growing up fast! Before you know it, they’ll be too old to enjoy the simple things in life, like going to the playground or seeing a movie in theaters with mom and dad. But there are still some fun places you can take your kids that will make the experience fun for them and won’t break the bank!
Check out our top picks for skateparks in Austin and prepare to see your kid enjoying life outdoors again!
