The city of Amstelveen commissioned Concrete Matters to put together a design for their future skatepark at the Legmeerdijk. A slightly altered version of our design is currently being built by the capable crew of Nineyards so we look forward to it’s completion and can’t wait to get some sessions at this park!
This project is a special one for Stan, founder of Concrete Matters. While visiting the old Amstelveen snakerun back in 1986 it was right here that Stan first got introduced to ‘professional’ skateboarding! Built in early 1979 at the Burgemeester Haspelslaan it remains here today making it the oldest skating infrastructure in the Netherlands. Concrete Matters did the necessary fieldwork to write an inventory report of the possible locations for a new skatepark in Amstelveen in 2022. Comparing over 8 locations the city of Amstelveen finally decided upon the location of the Legmeerdijk where it is being built today. It should be finished by the end of June 2025 and could very well inspire future generations to go and get rad!
We can’t wait to see the outcome of this project and look forward to skating some top notch concrete!
