Allen, TX Skate Park Shots - 01-02-2007, 05:07 PM

I paid a visit to the local skate park in Allen, Texas (Suburb North of Plano but South of McKinney) this past weekend. Here are some shots that I managed to take. I found this to be a great photo locale.

Kim:

Yes, this skate park is right off 75 but you can't see it from the road so I'm not sure if its the same one you're thinking of. If you exit Exchange Parkway and go East for about 1/2 mile, then make a right before you get to the Allen Natatorium, drive back into the park area about a half mile and you'll see it on the right. Its a very nice skate park. The kids were out there on a 40 Degree day...so I can only Imagine the photo ops during the spring and summer.

You know, I live very near that park. I was under the impression that the City discouraged adult entry, and didn't allow photography. Is this incorrect?

I would be interested in a weekend shoot. I live in south Allen. I have driven by the park, but never taken any photos.
