Completed in 2020, the 700 m² skatepark in Haagse Beemden marks the third successful action sports facility delivered by Nine Yards within the municipality of Breda. Replacing a neglected, underutilized space that suffered from a poor reputation and obsolete equipment, the project was envisioned as a complete transformation. The objective was to create a safe, inclusive skate landscape that functions simultaneously as an inviting public city park for the entire neighborhood.
Designed and constructed by Nine Yards in close collaboration with MINT Urban Design, the facility seamlessly blends technical skateable architecture with classic recreational park assets. The design actively incorporates social gathering elements, including integrated seating blocks and benches that welcome local residents, parents, and visitors. To ensure deep alignment with regional heritage and high visual appeal, the layout features premium details such as a distinctive granite tile pattern and curated landscaping.
Direct community engagement was a cornerstone of the process. By actively involving local skaters in the design workshops, the final layout perfectly reflects the authentic needs of its daily users. The result is a highly praised, multi-functional green space where sport, community safety, and environmental aesthetics effortlessly coexist.
