MC tipped me off to these photos of a skatepark in Hirschgarten. It’s got a weird stadium vibe too it, like something you’d see as the sport of future in a sci-fi movie. The park looks like it would be a lot of fun, but the most interesting architectural aspect is unfortunately, effectively skate stoppered. It would be a nightmare of loose boards falling into the main bowl, but it seems such a shame to build something so inherently skate able, something that is part of an actual skateboarding facility, and then stick a railing in front of it. Top photo is via Klaus Leidorf on Flickr, and the bottom two were found on IanClairdge.net.

Went there this year on our UK Rad Dads tour of German skateparks. Hard to skate in half a day but fun- the pool was sweet. Check out some youtube footage of the comp there this summer.
That 5 foot vert extension before the fullpipe, bottom right of your pictures, we saw some guy blunt to fakie 2nd attempt- evil!
There were quite a few super smooth concrete parks in Munich and the skaters were cool- we may go back.
Peace.

‘ ….. a skatepark in Hirschgarten.’ is like saying ‘East Columbia’ without the ‘Portland’ following it.
Still a cool skatepark-thingy. It’s on Google Maps already.
