Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skateboard in a San Angelo park?
Not on a park playground. Section 9.01.016(b)(8) bans riding a skateboard, scooter, bicycle or roller skates on the fenced or surfaced area built for swings, slides and climbers. Skateboarding elsewhere in a park, or at a dedicated skate park, follows the separate rules in section 9.01.018 instead.
What are the rules at San Angelo's skate parks?
Section 9.01.018 makes it unlawful to break any rule posted at a city skate park or skating facility, including its hours of operation and prohibited activities. Someone who repeatedly violates the rules, disrupts the peace there, or acts unsafely can receive a long-term criminal trespass warning from the parks director.
What's the penalty for skateboarding on a playground?
Section 9.01.002 treats it as a misdemeanor under the article's general penalty, section 1.01.009, punishable by a fine up to $500.00 per offense. If the conduct continues over multiple days, each day is treated as a separate, independently punishable offense under the ordinance.
Can kids skateboard on playgrounds after hours?
No. Section 9.01.016(b)(6) closes every park playground between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. regardless of activity, and subsection (8) separately bans wheeled devices like skateboards on playgrounds at any hour, so the two restrictions apply together.
