Conroe, TX Public Conduct: Skateboarding Rules (2026)

Section 66-31 defines "skateboard" as a device with wheels for riding, usually while standing, and "toy vehicle" to include coasters, scooters, roller skates, in-line skates, rollerblades and rollerskis, while specifically excluding bicycles, wagons, wheelchairs, strollers and carts used for their intended purposes. Riding is banned on any roadway posted above 30 miles per hour, except to cross it, and outright on Davis, Philips or Frazier streets regardless of the posted limit. A rider crossing a roadway has the same rights and duties as a pedestrian.

Riding is also banned anywhere posted with a "No Skateboarding" sign or similar clear wording, and riders may not damage city-owned tables, benches, tennis courts, retaining walls, fountains or statues, or build or use a ramp or jump on city-owned parking lots, parks or sidewalks. For a first offense, the ordinance offers an alternative to a fine: the rider can agree to have the police department impound the skateboard or toy vehicle for one week instead of paying the penalty that would otherwise apply. The rule dates to the city's 1966 Code, section 18-11, and remains the operative provision governing where and how skateboards, scooters and similar wheeled toys may be ridden within Conroe.
