General Background on Urban Sports

Over the past 30 years, urban wheeled sports has developed a strong following with increasing numbers of young people embracing the urban sports culture and lifestyle.

Skateboarding, BMX riding and inline skating has changed in many ways, with riders testing all types of urban terrains.

Unlike organised sports, such as hockey, rugby or football, urban sports have no set arena or rules and urban sports parks have no standard design template.

Each urban sports park is designed specifically to provide unique challenges to its users.

The modern urban sports park offers a wide variety of terrain in order to accommodate a broad diversity of skaters, BMXers and inline skaters.

It combines traditional features like bowls and half pipes with street skating elements like stairs and benches to create a comprehensive and flowing masterpiece where advanced skaters can feel challenged within the same space where beginning enthusiasts are developing their skills.

When properly designed and built, an urban sports park can become a dynamic community gathering space.

The space can serve action sports athletes who can safely exercise their passions, as well as observers who are intrigued by the skill and technique involved in such a creative art form.

Please note that we reserve the right to close areas of the centre from time to time at our discretion, e.g. for maintenance repairs, refurbishment or cleaning.
