Kevelaer Skatepark

In the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer, young people and senior citizens have been working together for more than ten years to build and maintain a skate park. There is an active skate community in the town, which initially campaigned for the renovation of the old facility, but last year advocated for a relocation of the site and worked intensively on the development of a new skate park.



The existing skate park is in need of renovation, is located outside the city center and is difficult to access for children and young people.



The central location and the existing good infrastructure therefore speak in favor of relocating the skate park to the approx. 3000m² site of the school center in Kevelaer. This includes the canteen, the municipal lunch club, the municipal youth center, each with corresponding sanitary facilities, as well as sports facilities and schools. These are expected to use the facility as part of club activities or sports lessons.



A new, 475m² facility is now being built here, which is precisely tailored to user requirements
