The 7 weirdest skateparks in the world

We know that it is always in the blood of a skater to want to get out of the conventional and experience new emotions. This can be achieved by practicing new modalities or trying skateparks that are out of the ordinary. The latter is the reason for our article, to take a look around the world in search of the most unusual skateparks.

We can find ourselves skating in a house, on a watermelon or even in the water. Without a doubt, the people who were in charge of designing and building these skateparks were in another world. Let's meet them one by one, hopefully you'll be as surprised as we are.

The 7 Weirdest Skateparks in the World

Prepare your skate and your mind to witness the strangest skateparks. Perhaps at the end of this tour you will want to visit or investigate one or the other, if you are curious and adventurous we invite you to read.

Watermelon skate bowl

As its name suggests, it's a skatepark with a watermelon design! A quite original design that brings colors to the sport. This park is located in Australia and it is a good-sized bowl with one or another variant.

People flock to see the eye-catching design, which by the way, has the converse logo on its pattern. Also if you decide to test your skills on a fun bowl you can go (if you have the possibility) if it doesn't look like something fun to watch.

The Schistervilla

This original idea occurred to the skater Philipp Schuster, his love for skateboarding and the desire he has to skate everywhere has no limit, not even at home. That's why he decided to design a skatepark in Austria set in a house, where you can find modules everywhere.

It may be a surreal image for your mind, but you can take the ramps, funbox, go through the chimney and many other obstacles. It is a curious park as soon as possible and that reflects Philipp's love for sport. Of course, be careful with doing this in your own home and end up starting something, we do not have the same class as our beloved Schuster.

Giant octopus in a bowl

A curious skatepark located in Italy is designed and painted in such a way that it looks like a large octopus lives. You can see its suckers and tentacles running through the entire bowl while an incredible tide runs through the entire park. An original design that defies the fears of any skater towards the depths. Don't you feel like trying it?

Being a giant octopus in a skate bowl shouldn't be an easy task, you're fighting the sun every day and you feel how everyone walks over you.

Skatepark in an abandoned train tunnel

Nike was one of the brands that was most involved with skateboarding and urban culture a long time ago. When Nike had its section dedicated to BMX, Nike 6.0 took on the task of building one of the most extreme skateparks. What better place to build it than in an abandoned train tunnel? Nike couldn't think of a better place either.

The skatepark flows as the tunnel progresses and it is a park with a lot of technical demands and physical resistance. At the time of its inauguration, Nike invited great references of BMX to practice in this circuit. The bad thing is that after a short time it ended up becoming a private complex, if you want to access it you must contact the owner.

Skate park in Marseille

We can highlight the great work done by the designers of this skatepark in two parts. The distribution and design of its skatepark, in addition to having one of the most emblematic artistic works in all of Europe. This encompasses everything that draws people's attention and makes it one of the most lively and fun skateparks to see.

The rage and impact of this skatepark is so great that even Tony Hawk went to visit it once and recorded a video.

The New York Barge Park

There is no doubt in the community that every time Nike did a dedicated job on skateboarding or BMX, they took everything out of themselves. The ideas and designs that the brand came up with were simply amazing. In this case, New York was the lucky one to receive this monument to sport that Nike decided to make.

If you thought building a Skatepark in an abandoned train tunnel was crazy, imagine one built on a barge. You're reading that right, on a barge, these guys were kind of wrong head surely. There were many professionals and leaders of the stature of Shane O'Neill who attended the presentation of the skatepark. These were inaugurating it showing its class and the potential that this skatepark has, a mark for the history of this sport.

In the park we can find pyramids, ramps, axles, rails, etc. A complete skatepark, it only needs to have sharks on its surface to be more surreal.

Bob Burnquist's Skate Park

We go from one madness to another, people find no limits to their imagination when it comes to building a skatepark. Just when we thought everything was done, Bob Burnquist comes along and shows us his own floating skatepark in the middle of the sea. Just as you are reading it, a skatepark on the water.

Many people thought at first glance that this was some setup or joke on Burnquist's part, but no; it is completely real. Of course, the creation of this skatepark was not easy at all, it took a lot of work from its designers so that no risk was taken.

A total of 300 hours of pure and hard work were invested in the work to bring to life one of the craziest ideas of the moment. A small number of 1250 screws were involved in the manufacture of this skatepark. It's something only masterminds can think of, and executing it is another level, our respects to Bob and his floating skatepark.
