Integrated and integrating urban sports parks

In most cities, skateparks are still being built on the outskirts to avoid potential conflicts with other users of public space. The integration of these spaces into their surroundings is usually non-existent, typically appearing as an isolated set of strange deposited artifacts that ignore any interaction with the surrounding social and urban landscape.

The Landskateparks overturn this dynamic and become a contemporary alternative for public space. They are not just play areas or sports grounds; nor are they simply a street, a plaza, or a park—they are all of these at once. These new spaces, integrated into the social and urban landscape of cities, are perceived by users and passersby as a natural part of the city they move through, encouraging close relationships and revealing the most positive side of conflict. In the Landskateparks, all elements relate to one another, creating complex systems that establish direct continuity with their surroundings. They no longer appear as foreign objects in the landscape but as inseparable parts of the place they occupy. They adopt local materials, hook into existing routes, and allow vegetation to enter or wrap around them.

    A new contemporary
    alternative
    for public space

    From the very day of their opening, the Landskateparks have become a meeting point and reference for all generations and users of all urban sliding sports disciplines. They have respected and revitalized the sites where they have been established, and have generated countless new and enriching social and urban dynamics.
