Find a skatepark near my location

Do you like to go out with your friends on your skateboard or rollerskates? Then of course you want to go to the best and biggest skatepark in your neighbourhood. Skating has been part of modern urban culture for years, and municipalities and private companies are opening more and more of these parks.

Today’s skatepark near your location originates from the movement that started in the fifties on the west coast of the United States of America when surfers started to equip their surfboards with wheels to perform their sport on land. During long dry summers, especially in California, swimming pools dried up and groups like the Z-Boys started skating in these pools. This is where the first tricks like carving and wheelies originated.

Indoor or outdoor skating at a nearby skatepark?

Of course it’s no fun to skate in the rain. Fortunately, nowadays there are many indoor skate parks where you can practice your kicks and flips. At such an indoor skatepark, lessons are often given for beginners and advanced skaters. More and more young children want to learn how to BMX and/or scoot and an indoor skate hall is the perfect place for that. Moreover, events and competitions for young and old are organised regularly.

The big difference with the nearest public skatepark in your neighbourhood is that you probably have to pay for the indoor one. A nearby open-air skate park is simply free and you can go there to skateboard, rollerblade, inline skate or roller blade in the sun.

Which skate track suits you best? That depends entirely on how good you are and what you can do with your board or skates. The skateparks in the neighbourhood where mostly beginners can find them are called flatspots, because, as the name suggests, they are mostly flat. The chance that you fall hard and break something is much smaller here. In any case, always wear the right protection when you go to a skate park near your location.

How do you get to the skate park?

Nowadays, with the right apps on your smartphone, you can see exactly where you are and where you want to go. If you want to go to the nearest skatepark with your skates or skateboard, a route planner will show you the safest and fastest route. But be careful and only use your smartphone when you’re standing still, a collision or fall on the way is the worst trick there is.

As a parent, do you want to take your children to a skate park nearby? A route planner shows you not only the route, but also where you can park if you’re coming by car and what other facilities you’ll find near your destination. That’s always handy if you want to buy new elbow or knee pads quickly. You can also find restaurants and bars on the maps of the route planner, so that you can relax and recover from all the adrenaline and excitement afterwards.
