Gandia skatepark

Gandia Skatepark is a modern concrete bowl located at Plaça Roís de Corella at the end of Passeig de les Germanies in Gandia, Valencia. Completed in 2023 by CopinRamps for the Ajuntament de Gandia, the project transformed an abandoned ornamental fountain into a dedicated space for skateboarding and other wheeled sports.

The skatepark was designed by Abel Segura, with engineering by Noray Ingeniería y Medio Ambiente and architectural work by Moratal Palomino. The design makes extensive use of the existing fountain structure, incorporating it into two distinct bowl areas rather than removing it entirely.

The approximately 1,300 m² skatepark is divided into two main zones. A smaller, shallow bowl of around 300 m² provides an accessible area for beginners, while a much larger bowl of approximately 900 m² offers deeper and more technical terrain for experienced riders. The deeper section reaches approximately 2.2 metres and features flowing transitions, a spine, walls and a canyon-like section.

The project was developed as part of a wider regeneration of the plaza, replacing an underused and deteriorating urban space with a new recreational destination. Local users were involved in the development process, helping ensure that the skatepark responded to the needs of the riding community.

With its two levels of difficulty, flowing concrete transitions and distinctive reuse of the former fountain, Gandia Skatepark offers a strong bowl-focused riding experience in the centre of the city.
