Skate Parks – they’re proven to be a positive way to keep kids out of trouble, pull them off the couch and get the adrenaline pumping! They’re an excellent place for socializing, and are the edgy advocate for a healthy, active lifestyle.
Designing a skate park involves several key considerations to ensure it meets the needs of skaters and the broader community. First, usability is crucial, which includes the flow, traffic patterns, speed, and difficulty of the park. It is a great idea to involve local skaters in the design process to ensure the park meets their needs and preferences.
