Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, beach and sea views, Xtreme SkatePark @ East Coast is the first skate park in Singapore which has been built to international competition standards. It promises to be an exciting venue for extreme sports enthusiasts, not only in Singapore but the region.
A joint development by the National Parks Board (NParks) and the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS), the skate park is designed to synergise with the beach setting and to give users and spectators a unique 'by the sea' experience. It is catered to both beginners and professionals, who will be able to find features that suit their skill levels.
The skate park has three areas:
Streetcourse - The Streetcourse caters to all riders. It provides elements for both intermediate and advanced skaters and bikers. The Streetcourse consists of a mix of street obstacles, including stairs, handrails, ledges and gaps to enable progression from lower level ramps to more advanced areas.
Combo Bowl - The Combo Bowl section is an intermediate to advanced level bowl with different depths, hips, corners, a spine, sub box and bank wall. The layout enables riders to travel continuously around the sections of the bowl and transfer from one to the other area.
Vertical Bowl - The 3.6-metre Vertical Bowl area is for advanced skaters/bikers. It consists of a channel with different corners. This is a challenging bowl that will ensure progression for skate park users and enable them to enter competitions.
It is important that you read the safety guidelines before you use the skate park. |
