ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS<\/strong> — One of the more interesting sites in Rotterdam is the Skatepark occupying the midsection of Westblaak, a main thoroughfare in the city centre. The public skate facility opened in 2000 and covers 6,700 square metres, comprising 11 stainless steel obstacles for inline skating, skateboarding, and BMX stunts. There is also a green area for relaxing, and an on-site restaurant.<\/p>\n

The most important element of this park is the fact that it was the young skaters of the city who came up with the idea. They also played a key role in the planning and design process of the facility by providing input and knowledge of their needs in such a space.<\/p>\n
