Skate park

Located near the Al Reem 2 community gatehouse, the skate park offers a selection of custom-built ramps for skateboarders and BMX enthusiasts. The ramps are surfaced with a special coating that offers fantastic grip, whilst various rails give multiple opportunities to ‘grind’ and ‘ollie’.

Floodlights mean the action can go on well into the night and several benches provide a great spot from which to watch. There’s even an overhead canopy that shields skaters from the sun on hotter afternoons.

The skate park is open from 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
