City Council named the skatepark in memory of Michael Thomas Raetzsch, an avid local skater who passed away in 2009 at the age of 22.
The skatepark is funded through the 2013 bond election that provided $4.2 million for a new community park and skate park on the city’s west side. It's about 12,000 square feet and features a plaza-style design with stairs, rails and ramps. The concept was inspired by the plaza area in front of the Seguin Coliseum.
The MTR Skatepark is located on the southeast corner of San Antonio Avenue and North Vaughan Avenue. The skatepark is part of the larger Park West, which will include athletic fields, lighted basketball court, a playscape, splash pad, group pavilion, picnic shelters, nature trails, off-road bicycle trail, parking, restrooms and concessions.
