A new skate park near the Miramar shopping centre promises to be a huge draw as it set out to rival similar parks in Sweden and Germany. Set on a plot of 5,828 square metres, the Skate Park, which will be officially inaugurated in a few weeks, will become one of the largest youth-orientated leisure facilities in the municipality of Fuengirola.


Ana Mula, Fuengirola´s councillor for Town Planning, said “it would offer a unique space for young people to skate board, BMX ride or roller-blade. They are growing activities and now we have provided the best new facilities.”


As well as the skaters’ and bikers’ ramps there will an additional 3000 square metre park with amenities including bowls. “We are extremely proud to have developed these purpose-built, outdoor facilities,” added the councillor.

Benjamin Carsson, who spent the first half of his 28 years in various Scandinavian countries, now runs a shop which specialises in skating, clothing and accessories in Fuengirola.

“It definitely seems to be getting more popular. This year we have notice lots of kids getting into it for the first time. With these bug new skating zones I hope we’ll be able to hold some major international championships like in America”
