This bowl is gnarly, approach with caution, helmets recommended. We strongly encourage a few walk arounds before jumping in.
This facility with your continued support will evolve while we will try our best to provide a safe, clean and nurturing environment. Thanks to Vans South Africa] for their recent generous contributions, this is testimony to a longstanding brand that wants the establishment of skateboarding in major cities. Never forgetting all the volunteers that have lent a hand through the years🙏
As the facility was founded by skateboarders we will be mostly skateboarding focused on this opening day and into the holidays. We are developing an online booking system where groups of friends can arrange to session together. Essentially we wish to occupy this space long into the future as a platform for fun, expression and creativity. Right now we all just wanna get in there and feel out the fresh lines
