Good news! Castelldefels City Council is working to make a bigger and more modern skate park that will double the size of the current one: 1,500 m².
-
The works will start in 2025 and will have a budget of 350,000 €.
Best of all, the design has been created with the help of the local urban sports community: participation was encouraged and ideas from expert athletes of all wheel and urban sports modalities were listened to. So this skate park should be perfect for everyone!
Ready for Olympic competitions
The new space won’t just be for practice and fun: it will have a special certificate that will allow national and international competitions to be organized. You could be skating in the same place as future Olympic champions!
The design was led by architect José Valverde together with Urban Agenda, a company run by skateboarder Chris Khan, a Castelldefels resident and user of the current skate park. “We’ve worked on more than 150 projects all over the world, but this one is special because it’s my city,” Chris commented excitedly.
The project will join the existing skate park, which has two bowls with different heights and many transfers.
An inclusive place full of surprises
The new skate park will be designed for all ages and levels, from beginners to experts. Among the new features will be a funbox module unique in Spain, lighting for night sessions, benches, vegetation and graffiti walls.
Let’s hope that the final result will live up to the expectations that are being created.
