Roll, Roll, Roll Your Board Those looking to get their shred on should look no further than Old Fair Park, which added a skate park in 2015. Thanks to funds raised by the Fredericksburg Morning Rotary Club and donated from generous locals, the riders of Gillespie County and those just visiting have somewhere to flip, grind and ollie in peace. Designed by Evergreen Skate Parks, a company run by longtime skateboarders Bill and Catherine Coulson, park opened six years ago. The skate park was built on land donated by the City of Fredericksburg at Old Fair Park, adjacent to the H-E-B grocery store on South Adams Street, and behind the Boys & Girls Club on East Park Street. It is operated by the city and is free and open to the public.
