G. Hysmith Skatepark
The G. Hysmith Skatepark just had a mural makeover! The skatepark is located in College Station, TX inside Brian Bachmann Community Park to the left of the Southwood Community Center.
The pop art murals in the spirit of Roy Lichtenstein were created by the 2025 participants of Art Reaching Teens (A.R.T.) for Life and Urban Canvas. These programs are hands-on, artist-mentored empowerment initiatives that provide youth involved in juvenile services a foundation for making better life choices and an opportunity to give back to the community through public art. Art for Life is organized by the Arts Center of the Brazos Valley and facilitated by artist and mentor LeAnn Hale of the Purple Turtle Art Studio.
Designed by SPA Skateparks with the input of local skaters for every level, this free competition-quality skate park on Rock Prairie Road in College Station, TX has a large pro-style flow bowl, a pool bowl and a long linear street course with unique terrain and scalable elements. There is a covered patio area for spectators.
