Why a new skatepark in Britain could be perfect for Asia, where skateboarding is booming but in dense urban areas like Hong Kong, space for the sport is expensive
- The skateboard park, in Folkestone on England’s south coast, has three levels of skating areas, as well as boxing facilities and a climbing wall
- The three-storey split affords freedom in programming so that a floor may be time-allocated to skaters of specific skills levels, and to female-only usage slots
