Non-traditional sports found a new home after the Pflugerville City Council at its Jan. 14 meeting approved building a skate spot at Bohls Park.
Skating amenities in Pflugerville have been discussed for several years, and Pflugerville resident Brent Huerta has attended city council and parks and recreation commission meetings for 8–9 years to voice his support for building a spot in the city.
"There's not much to do in Pflugerville for young kids or young adults, and I think any variety [of amenities] we can introduce into the community keeps them from things we don't want them doing," Huerta said.
In order to better serve Pflugerville's west side, the parks and recreation commission initially looked at building the spot at the neighborhood park in Cambridge Hills. However, the subdivision's homeowners association and management company were concerned the skate spot would create parking and crowd problems.
