Glimåkra skatepark is a part of green recreational park Trollacenter and is an addition to a range of activites. It is designed as a flow area with an open bowl, variety of transitions and banks as well as street elements. The decision to make an open bowl is due to smaller size of the park allowing the use of the whole park in a single run when it’s not crowded, although the open bowl can be used separately. The unique feature of the park are the ledges that are placed on the edge of the park and can be used both for seating or skating. To achieve unique look, the footing of the ledges is done as gabion walls. Skatepark is equipped with lighting allowing the use of the park in the evening hours.
