Le Fanu Skate and Play Park is a striking example of inclusive and innovative urban design, reflecting the vibrant ethos of Ballyfermot’s community. The park consists of two main areas—the Skate Bowl and the Skate Plaza—each seamlessly blending skateboarding activities with public space amenities and an all-ages-inclusive playground. Designed with smooth, resin-bound rubber surfaces, the park ensures accessibility for skaters of all skill levels, offering a welcoming experience for beginners and seasoned skaters.
The park’s landscape features, including wildflower beds and sculpted landscape mounts, enhance its aesthetic appeal and create inviting spaces for community engagement and interaction. Strategically placed belvederes throughout the park encourage spectators to watch skaters in action, fostering a sense of communal connection.
Our approach combines innovative design tools with a commitment to environmental sustainability. Collaborating with the local community on planting initiatives promotes biodiversity and ensures a resilient landscape for future generations. Le Fanu Skate and Play Park exemplifies our dedication to creating award-winning, inclusive spaces that unite people and enhance urban life.
