    CONCRETE SKATEPARKS Design and construction of a skateboarding recreational facility Bachelor’s thesis Degree Programme in Construction Engineering Visamäki, Autumn 2015 Teodor Daskalov Teodor Daskalov ABSTRACT Visamäki, Hämeenlinna Degree Programme in Construction Engineering Author Teodor Daskalov Year 2015 Commissioned by Windmill Skate Company Subject of Bachelor’s thesis Concrete Skateparks– Design and construction of a skateboarding recreational facility ABSTRACT This Bachelor’s thesis was commissioned by Windmill Skate Company. The purpose of the thesis was to thoroughly research and describe the setup, planning, design, and construction of an efficient concrete skatepark by fo- cusing on the execution of the building process and the engineering aspects and requirements. One aim was to provide better understanding on the whole concept behind building a skatepark and point out and analyze different challenges in its construction. Another aim was to show the importance of skateboarding and of having such a facility in any municipality for the well-being of the young commu- nity and of youth in general. All research information was both gathered from various internet re- sources and presented by Windmill Skate Company. The result of this thesis was the creation of a skatepark construction guide for familiarizing oneself with the basics of design, planning and building of such an athletic reinforced concrete facility. It can serve as a reference for getting better acquainted with this particular branch of construction and its different aspects and details.

Without your love and support, fierce intelligence and passion for travel, I would not have achieved half of what I have. To my children, Zahki, Evie and Esther. You have each quite literally grown up with this project, and I am so lucky that you each enjoy skateboarding! I love you all. To my friends who have travelled with me while conducting research: Mel, Jasper, Kyle, Wyan, Mackenzie, Georgia, Matt, Danny Boy, Liam and Ash. It was so fun! Greg Hughes and Leo Robba, you were both inspirational in demonstrating how to complete higher degree research. You showed me the way.
