    Houston could soon be home to one of nation's largest skate parks

    We all know skateboarders and pedestrians don't mix, so there is an effort to get the skateboarders a place to call their own.

    "We have one of the wealthiest cities in America, but for skateboarders, there's nothing," said Barry Blumenthal, Public Use Skateparks for Houston.

    The proposed skate park will be centrally located, just west of downtown Houston in Buffalo Bayou Park.

    The city has donated 38,000 square feet of land, which would make it one of the largest skate parks in the U.S.

    "It would take our ability to work with these kids to a whole other level," said Charles Rotramel, Youth Advocates, Inc.

    Supporters of the new park hope to be able to break ground next year.

  2. I don't think the creator of the thread was talking about every hotel downtown, just the big chain ones like Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, and Doubletree. I hope that is what he is talking about, becaue I happen to like the smaller boutique hotels such as ICON, Lancaster, Sam Houston, and Magnolia.

  3. It just came to me that the only decent looking large chain hotel ion downtown Houston is the Hilton Americas connected to the GRB. The Hyatt looks horrible, and so does the Doubletree, the exterior of these hotels in downtown need to be updated soon...

    Hilton Americas? What about the Holiday Inn Express? ;)

  4. If that's a rendering for H-town's park, that looks nice, yo!

    Now, I understand the concept of starting up development around the park, but exactly WHERE around the park is everyone refering to that you'd want redeveloped? The park's surrounded by office buildings, The GRBCC, Hilton Americas, Toyota Center, and Minute Maid Park. Where exactly is it that this thread is talking about in terms of the actual location that you're hoping to be developed around this park?

    Did you see post #14?
