Sectores del parque y sus componentes
To clearly explain a Skatepark the size of SMP, it is necessary to divide it into several sectors and thus be able to have a clearer idea. We are going to mention each sector along with its components, let's begin.
Competition area
As we have been mentioning, the competition area exceeds 2,000 square meters. It is an area that has a wide variety of modules in which versatility is sought by skaters. This section has everything required for a skate competition.
Fans are not forgotten, as they have more than 5,000 seats available to appreciate the competitions held there. The complex has 2 giant screens where you can see the visual resources of the tournament, from scores, replays, graphics, etc.
Two vert ramps approximately 3.9 meters high and 12 meters wide.

We have excellent construction quality and a good reputation throughout Spain.
To finish complementing this area we have railings, stairs and rails.
Double Cup Bowl and 6 Pack
This is one of the funniest sections of the Skatepark. It is a double bowl with a depth of 2.40 meters. There is also a slightly smaller one for beginners, this one is 0.9 and 1.2 meters deep.
The bowls have a granite topping, extensions and connections between the bowls to be able to skate with each other.

Of all the sections seen, this may be the most conventional that we can find. It is the typical section that resembles a street park so that novices and experienced players can practice. It has a skating surface of about 1750 meters, in which we can go skating through different modules.
In these modules we can find the conventional hubbas, rails, fun box, benches, etc. It is a fun and quite complete section to complement the extraordinary that the SMP has.

One of the favorite places for skaters, skate through a square. This is something that the SMP included and was received quite warmly, it is a square with more than 4100 square meters of granite. You can walk on steps, railings, seats, etc. >
It has two giant sails that allow the site to be shaded and that you can walk without worrying about the sun. Before or after you practice, you can go to the toilets and changing rooms to get in shape. It is a good section to spend some time relaxing walking with your colleagues, this and the park area are the more conventional sections that we will see in the Skatepark.
Vert ramp
When you get to the SMP you can find this vert ramp majesty. It is more than 52 meters long and varies in height, ranging from 3.9 meters to 5.10.
The ramps have extensions of 6 and 7 meters, with an average height of 4 meters. It's a great place for you to practice your vert tricks without being interrupted by other skaters. There is a surface for everyone, especially in the SMP, the largest Skatepark in the world.
