The construction of public skateparks is booming. But how can these building projects, conceptualized to serve their purpose for decades, be designed in a long-term, sustainable manner for dynamic movement practices such as skateboarding? The underlying conflict: These publicly funded skateparks need to serve a maximum number of potential users, but at the same time offer the core target demographic a viable alternative to their free exploration of urban spaces.<\/p>

The following discourse is an excerpt from a dissertation published by Veith Kilberth that provides actionable concepts for the kinds of sociocultural aspects ideally implemented into skatepark design.<\/p>

These highly condensed talking points can be perused in their entirety in the referenced sections of Kilberth\u2019s book.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    3. Central Location<\/h5>

    Position skateparks in central locations at busy, well visible sites.<\/p>

    4. Maximum Operating Hours<\/h5>

    When choosing the location, also factor in the maximum number of operating hours.<\/p>

    5. Urban Spaces<\/h5>

    In addition, consider non-conformist and experimental urban spaces as skateboard locations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    6. Smaller Skateparks<\/h5>

    On the regional municipal level, rather plan several relatively small skateboard facilities instead of fewer, larger skateparks.<\/p>

    7. Limited Terrain Size<\/h5>

    Make sure not to exceed the maximum size for skatepark terrain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Always involve local end users in the planning of skatepark projects and respect their needs and requirements as much as possible.<\/p>

    9. Informal Communication Channels<\/h5>

    Create informal, unconventional channels of communication to reach end users and involve them in a participatory planning group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Plan and build state-of-the-art skateparks with the in-situ concrete method.<\/p>

    11. Quality over Quantity<\/h5>

    In case of budget limitations, prioritize smaller and higher quality skateparks instead of filling larger spaces with relatively low-quality construction methods and materials.<\/p>

    12. High-Quality Riding Surface<\/h5>

    The ground of a skatepark facility should be crafted from the smoothest, high-quality surface available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    14. Incremental Structure<\/h5>

    The height and difficulty level within the skatepark terrain should be designed to increase incrementally.<\/p>

    15. Multi-line Structure<\/h5>

    Structure terrains with as many multi-directional pathways as possible.<\/p>

    16. Wider Base Area<\/h5>

    Avoid a narrow, elongated base area and prefer geometrically proportional, wider spaces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    17. Unique Character<\/h5>

    Every skatepark should be designed with a unique character and offer at least one defining characteristic feature.<\/p>

    18. Low Overall Height<\/h5>

    Street terrains should be planned with a relatively low overall height of elements\/obstacles, but also offer more challenging elements.<\/p>

    19. Creativity and Variety<\/h5>

    Skateparks are designed according to skateboarding\u2019s socio-cultural aesthetic and should provide a broad spectrum of different elements\/obstacles.<\/p>

    20. Urban Flair<\/h5>

    Keep demarcations along the borders of the skatepark space as well as functional safety installations at a minimum in order to create an authentic, urban flair. Use alternative measures to meet safety guidelines.<\/p>

    21. Prioritize Basic Features<\/h5>

    Start by incorporating a sufficient number of basic skatepark features, then integrate more specialized features.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    22. Multiple Common Areas<\/h5>

    Plan various common areas in varying proximity to the skate terrain: Always provide common areas in a central location directly at the skate area, but also in peripheral distance with a close view of the action.<\/p>

    23. Urban Furniture<\/h5>

    Common areas in skateparks should be equipped with authentic, urban furniture found in public spaces in order to avoid the aesthetic of bleachers and \u2018sports facilities\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Looking ahead, the proliferation of skateparks could lead, in consecutive phases, to a number of increasingly complex spatial concepts for skateboarding in municipalities:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    I. Single Case-Skatepark<\/em>
    State-of-the-art skatepark planned with a high level of end user participation realized as single case project at traditionally zoned sites according to municipality\u2019s overall urban planning directives.<\/p>

    II. Communal Skatepark-Offering<\/em>
    Several skatepark projects orchestrated as part of an overall, communal skatepark offering. This second stage of the skateboard space genesis is constituted of separate skatepark projects built at designated sites but integrated into the context of a community-wide offering.<\/p>

    III. Diversified Communal Skatepark Space Concept<\/em>
    In the next step of the evolution, the traditional offering of skateparks planned with end user participation and built at demarcated sites within the municipality is expanded by another dimension: Alternative skatepark concepts, including DIY spaces built by core skaters, are now part of the menu. At the same time, skateboard spaces are appropriated at unconventional sites, such as empty industrial spaces, under bridges, between buildings. These can be opened to development by end users in a self-directed, DIY manner (also including sites used for skateboarding as an intermediate, temporary solution). This third stage of the skateboard space genesis is marked by a heightened degree of involvement by end users, increased planning participation by \u2018folks at the ground level\u2019 and, nevertheless, implementation in line with official zoning guidelines in the municipality.<\/p>

    IV. Communal Diversified-Integrated Skate Space Concept<\/em>
    The fourth stage of the skateboard space genesis represents the highest degree of a diversified and integrated concept of skate spaces. Expanding on the previously outlined skateboard spaces, this final stage is concerned with the (re-) integration of skateboarding into the urban realm. The concept of \u2018shared spots\u2019 revolves around legalized, purpose-built and legally accepted skate spots that tend to disregard any separation between skate space and urban space entirely. It is only at this stage that a city can claim to have implemented a fully diversified and integrated skateboard space concept.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    At the intersection between subculture and sportisation, the positioning model outlines a number of opportunities for cities and municipalities to create spaces for skateboarding and urban movement practices beyond conventional skateparks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    *Shared Spot: Multifunctional space for shared use between skateboarders and passerby.
    *DIY: Self-made skate spots with a \u2018do it yourself\u2019 ethos.
    *Found Spaces: Architectural sites in public space that allow for appropriation into skate spots.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
