It is the first full-concrete park in Niigata City, and it features three areas: street, park, and indoor. Each area has a variety of sections, making it one of the most comprehensive skateparks in the country.
The park’s theme is “A skatepark that everyone can enjoy and want to come back to.” The park is designed to be balanced, so that users of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, can enjoy it.
The opening ceremony was attended by professional skateboarders, including Japanese national team member Ayumu Hirano. They performed stunning demonstrations, which greatly impressed the audience.
