They are building it!
With a 1.5 million dollar donation from a prominent local attorney James Jamail, P.U.S.H. (Public Use Skate-parks of Houston) has managed to raise all the funds needed for a permanent, state of the art, conrete skatepark to be built right next to downtown Houston, on Allen parkway.
YES! I have been reading about P.U.S.H.'s efforts for years now and am so glad that they finally will get it done. The skatepark should open in 2008.
Here is a link to the Houston Chronicle article.
