Marbella Skatepark is made for everybody

At one end of the skatepark, there’s a great street course, equipped with concrete benches, a couple of rails, a pole jam, some curbs and quite a bit of flat land for those who like doing tricks on flat surfaces. The street section also includes a volcano and some mellow banks. The park was adapted to the natural slope of the terrain, giving it a slight inclination for more speed. To get to the bowl section, you have to pass over three concrete dunes. And, if you’re more into pools, then you’re in luck because this skatepark has two amazing bowls on the side closest to the shore. One of them is smaller but ideal for beginners who are learning to rip curves. The other bowl is bigger and has a deeper end for more experienced thrashers. Both bowls were built with extensions and old-school concrete pool copings. A spine separates the pools so you can easily transition back and forth between them. Encircling the bowls is a curvy snake run, perfectly built for surfing concrete.

Although the skatepark’s street section may not be as complete as the bowl section, the spot as a whole is an ideal place where you can hang out and own your skills. All in all, this skatepark is perfect for beginners, intermediate and advanced skaters. To get here, you just have to take a quick metro ride to Poble Nou Park. Once there, simply follow the colorful graffiti art all the way to the skatepark. Marbella Skatepark is surrounded by palm trees, green areas and a wondrous atmosphere.
