Free Flight Skatepark 1971 Magnet

Despite being the 23rd most populous city in Texas, Carrollton has maintained a quaint, small town vibe that many municipalities aspire to, but in the early '70s, this once rural community became an unexpected destination for skateboarders from all over the country. Wait, what? Because everything is bigger in Texas, at some point, somebody decided to build what was the world's largest skatepark in Carrollton - the Free Flight Skatepark. It was larger than anything California had to offer at the time and drew skaters in from coast-to-coast to experience the new park. From what we can see, the park ran for at least a decade, as there are records of events, competitions, and contest results into the early '80s before the trail goes cold.
