Skateplaza

The “Agora” of skateboarding

Skate Agora is a public plaza 100% dedicated to skateboarding.

Designed by California Skateparks, world leader in the construction of skateparks, it’s the first and only in Europe to be certified by the Street League Skateboarding prepared to host international competitions. Nearly 5,000 sqm with hubbas, quarter pipes, and flat rails, designed for the most pro riders, and others more suitable for beginners.

Its location is strategic, its surroundings postcard-like. Located side to Badalona beach, 15-minutes train ride from Barcelona downtown, to skate in Skate Agora is to skate in a skateboarding temple in a Mediterranean atmosphere.

Skate Agora is a step towards the coastal recovery and a step forward for the Barcelona metropolitan area, which, despite being among the skating capitals of the world, was lacking facilities up to its reputation for a while.
