England Plans to Build a 5-Story Skatepark

/in , , , , /by
A PARKING GARAGE is nearly the ideal location for skateboarding. The inclines, the rails, the concrete parking bumpers—they’re all there just waiting to be repurposed as a playground for grinding. And then there are the cars and pedestrians and security guards, who want nothing more than to be, like, a total bummer and kick you out.
Good news: British firm Guy Hollaway Architects has designed a bonkers-looking building proposal that takes the best parts of skating in a parking garage and combines them with the the convenience (and legality) of a more traditional skatepark. When completed—Guy Hollaway hopes in early 2017— the multilevel building in Folkestone, England, will be a massive sporting complex where people can skateboard, rock climb and ride BMX bikes indoors.The skatepark’s unorthodox design was born out of a common urban constraint: lack of space. Folkestone’s only skatepark is closing later this year to make room for residential housing, and the developer, Roger De Haan, wanted to find a place to relocate the park. Having just bought a plot of land, De Haan entertained the idea of moving the park there, only the plot of land was too small to house everything a decent skatepark needs. So they decided to look up. “When you start thinking about it in terms of multi stories, the opportunity changes,” Hollaway says.Read whole Story here.
