In this article we are going to present everything you need to know about who can build a Skatepark in Spain. What you need and everything related to the subject of construction and skater safety. Let's start.

Who can build a Skatepark in Spain

Anyone can build a Skatepark in Spain as long as they comply with all regulations. It is common to see that people who are interested in building a Skatepark end up choosing to hire a specialized company. It is a completely understandable decision since you do not have the capacity or the experience to do it in isolation.

At Osso Skate we have the ability to build and design skateparks throughout Spain, we have been doing it for years and we will continue to do so. We serve any type of client that comes to us with the project for the construction of several modules for a Skatepark. You are given advice and everything you need to carry out the park construction project in question.

Depending on the town hall, you must present the case so that they know about your next construction. Most likely, if it is a private property and project, the authorities have little to do with it. But if you want to build a public skatepark that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, you should consult it.

To answer the related question we can tell you that any type of person or company can build a Skatepark in Spain. You do not need to spend years processing a permit or have any specific property to do so. Freedom is as long as you have the resources and the willingness to do it, on that side everything is fine.

Elements that the construction of a Skatepark in Spain must comply with

Each Skatepark construction project must have its objectives and certain elements to meet to be considered legal/successful. It is our job to explain a variety of points that cover both the legal issue and the safety and optimal functioning of the Skatepark.

The following list will show an overview of what a well-done Skatepark project should have.

Adhere to the UNE en 14974 regulation on the construction of facilities for sports on wheels

This would be the legal point that you must take into account before building a Skatepark or similar sport. Within this regulation you can find all the regulations related to the safety of athletes on wheels. You can find it in digital stores in PDF format with an approximate cost of €59 to the public.

Certainly you should make that investment to know in depth if your project will be seen in a good way or you can be harmed by not following the rules. You can also seek advice from a person who knows about the subject and knows how to guide you. Both cases are good options and it is up to you how you want to trade.

Construction materials

An issue as important as the main material with which the Skatepark will be built should not be missed. It is advisable to go for what has been in operation for decades; the concrete skateparks.

It is not a material that a priori is so cheap to use to build a skate park, but it gives you optimal performance and excellent durability. This is why it is considered by the vast majority as the leading material for the construction of a Skatepark. You can also contact us and we will manufacture you with a material that is qualified for this type of project. Our favorite is birch wood.

 Support when designing

The wisest thing we can do sometimes is to listen and pay attention to the many ideas that skaters can propose. If you are building a skatepark that will be used publicly, you should first check what is needed and what is most important. In this way you will be satisfying the needs of skaters and investing in a good way in their sports well-being.

In the case of the regulations that will be used at the time the skate park is inaugurated, they must also be taken with importance. As many local skaters who wish to support the project in this way should be involved as much as possible.

Be very careful with the area.

Here we already enter another legal point to know who can build a Skatepark in Spain. It is always important to verify the location where our Skatepark will be built, it must be available and capable of hosting a project of this type. Firstly, for the safety and comfort of the community that will not be affected by the new construction.

Then we have cases where skateparks shouldn't be close to liquor stores, bars, nightclubs or the like. This is done in order not to promote this type of culture inside and outside the Skatepark, since people who come from places of that style could enter the park and cause disturbances.

And the usual thing, if your park will be public, you must request permission from the town hall depending on the area you are in. This is more than anything to be sure that you are not breaking any regulations.

Promote culture in the Skatepark

It is so important both for the owner of the Skatepark and for the skaters themselves to maintain a healthy environment and good culture. In this way, the safety and use rules that were previously established before entering will be met. Everything will go well as long as the same users collaborate with each other to maintain the park in the established conditions.

Try to keep the access cost at 0 if your project will be dedicated to the community, it's the best you can do.
