About
This is a great afterschool hangout for kids that gives them a chance to work on their freestyle skateboarding tricks in a fun and inclusive social atmosphere. The smoothly paved indoor skate park is packed with features, including banks, ramps, rails and jumps.
The skate park is run by Skateistan, an international non-profit organization that uses skateboarding and education to empower children, especially girls and children with disabilities. The NGO also operates skate parks and outreach programs in Afghanistan and South Africa.
The skate park serves as an informal classroom, with instructors using creative arts to develop children's critical thinking and leadership ablilities.
The space is open to the public on weekends and evenings. There is no entrance fee, but kids must bring their own equipment. For safety, all skaters are required to wear suitable padding and brain buckets (helmets).
The Wednesday public skate session is for girls/women only.
