How to avoid a skatepark bubble? Our 5 proven rules!

Creating a skatepark is much more than putting up a few obstacles and giving it a name. If you want your skatepark to be vibrant and attract riders, you need to take care of every detail - from location to design to user consultation. We know from experience that ill-considered decisions can quickly turn a skatepark into an unused space. But rest assured, we have a solution for that!

In our latest guide, we present 5 key principles to consider when designing a skatepark. We suggest what to pay attention to in order to avoid mistakes and create a place that will become an integral part of urban life.

We encourage officials, architects and everyone involved in urban investments to read our tips. Together we can create a space that will serve the community for years to come.

1.Location matters - the skatepark must be accessible, but not necessarily right under the windows of residents.

2.Cooperation with local riders - no one knows better what is needed than the users themselves.

3. quality of materials and variety of obstacles - how long the skatepark will last depends on this.

4. community-friendly space - a skatepark is not just about riding, but also a meeting place.

5. Sustainable solutions - matching the budget and needs of the city.
