Rules of use that you must take into account on the skate tracks

In Spain the use of skate rinks is regulated with certain conditions that must be met for the safe development of activities. What should be taken into account mostly are the safety measures that both the modules and elements of the track, and also the people who perform the sport, must comply with.

Throughout this article you will learn about the general conditions and rules of use that you should consider when building a skatepark. As it is a sports space where injuries can be suffered, safety and precaution will always come first. Let's start.

General requirements for skate park users

This is one of the main questions people have when building a skatepark and deciding who can use it and who can't. So, in this case it depends more on the type of activity and the pace that is going to take place in the park, let's start with the minimum age to start using the skate park.

Minimum age to use the skate parks

In the vast majority of skate parks we recommend using it for people between 12 and 35 years old. This is an average figure, taking into account sports activities with good performance and mastery of technique. The age can vary depending on the level you want to have and the purpose of the skatepark itself.

In the case of training academies, we will allow the use of users who are minimum 6 years old. This age is especially for cases where the minor will be instructed to use the elements of the track, the skateboard and other elements.

For the use of a public/private park, it is recommended to be between 12 and 35 years old with a good command of the technique.

Maximum capacity for the use of the skate rinks

This point depends a lot on the size of the park, in a skatepark of relatively normal dimensions, the number should not exceed 8 people. This number will increase depending on the modules and the general dimensions of the skate park. The normal thing is that between 8 and 20 people are allowed as a maximum capacity.

Use for minors

This is a general rule, the use of a skate park can carry risks and injuries to the user. We know that at a young age it is common not to master the technique and to fall into accidents that harm the physical condition of the user. That is why the representatives are requested to be responsible for any injury or damage that the minor may suffer when using the skate park. The accident must be the responsibility of the minor's lack of control or technique, not in poor park conditions.

Use of clothing

To access the skate rink the user must have the clothing requested by the owner of the park. In most cases, the use of knee pads, elbow pads, helmets and other clothing that protects the physical integrity of the user is requested. You must have this basic protection system to use the skate park safely.

Rules and requirements that must be met in the skate park

Safety on the part of the users has the same importance as safety in terms of the quality of the elements of the track. Having high-quality modules will guarantee an accident-free environment related to the poor condition of the track.

The best Quarter that you can find on the market are offered by Osso skate, they are responsible for manufacturing them in birch wood which is an excellent surface to avoid injuries and scrapes in the falls of skateboarders. They offer different dimensions depending on the size and demands of your track, you can see their catalogue on the website. With these modules you can be certain that you will have the best quality elements in the construction of your park.

Paint on the ramps

For security and precautionary measures for the users of the track, it must not be painted; the use of paint can cause slipping. A surface with good traction and that does not represent a danger to users must be maintained.

Use in rainy or stormy conditions

In the event that the atmospheric conditions are unfavorable for the optimal use of the skate park, its use is prohibited. The suspension of the track is established until the weather conditions improve and the terrain does not pose a danger to users.

Modification of the elements

In no way should the construction or the materials implemented in the construction of a module or element be modified. It is common to see in public spaces that wax is used to apply it to the railings and make them more slippery, in no way these practices are allowed.

Any alteration to the metallic components of the track can lead to a loss of traction and, therefore; an injury.

Food intake inside the skate rinks

Depending on the skate park, it is forbidden to consume foods that give off shells such as pipes or nuts. In the same way, if some food is consumed, let it be in areas that are not in transit for users and do not release residues.

Preserve the state of the skatepark

This is a point of awareness that we must implement among users who use the skate park. Elements that could damage, corrode or alter the useful life of one of its components must not be used.

The maintenance of these modules can be carried out cheaply and easily if you use a park built by Osso. Its elements are of high quality and durability so that maintenance does not entail great expense. This rule applies to the different variants of the Quarter ramps, such as the Quarter tongue, wallride, miniramp, etc. You can check models and specifications on the Osso Skate official website.

It is up to the owner of the park to impose its rules and regulations for the preservation of the sports environment, in this article we present the most common ones to take into account.
