Welcome to every AFOL’s favorite Skatepark 🛹

This skatepark is a brand-new original creation by BDP 8, designed especially for fans of skate culture. Its aim is to bring together an urban and colorful vibe in one cohesive setting 🌟

Why a LEGO set based on a skatepark ?

While the idea might not be the most original (especially compared to my “Scientist’s Kit” or “Fruit Basket” also submitted for BDP 8), we’ve never really had a proper, realistic LEGO skatepark.

Sure, there are several sets with a skating theme, but none that, in my opinion, truly represent these places in a realistic and display-worthy way.
So, what I’m trying to offer here is a set that combines realism, clever building techniques, visual appeal, and playability – something that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike 🔥

Set details and playability :

The park features several key elements:

- A Handrail
- A Hips
- A Quarter (with stairs on the side)
- A Halfpipe
- A Spine
- Small Hubbas
- Flat zones
- An Ice Cream Stand (inspired by the cart from LEGO sets 60233 and 60234)
- Palm trees
- Traffic cones
- A Trash bin
- A Fire hydrant
- A Fence
- A Bench
- A Graffiti tag
- Street lamps
- A Bird
- 3 Minifigures with accessories (helmets, ice cream, skateboard, roller skates, etc...)

One of the biggest strengths of this set is its modularity ! The skatepark was designed so that the layout of the modules and scenery can be easily rearranged. This allows for different setups depending on the space, scenes, or play configuration you want ! Check out the video to see how it works 😮

Set dimensions :

The main layout measures 52 x 13.5 x 25.5 cm and includes 711 pieces, but this surface can vary depending on how you arrange it, thanks to the flexibility of the modular system.

The minifigures :

In this set, you’ll find :

- A young prodigy skater (at this pace, he’s more likely to break an arm haha)
- The queen of roller skating (rumor has it she’s landed a 720 !)
- An ice cream vendor who can’t wait to finish her shift so she can skate too

The stickers :

I had fun creating a sticker for the ice cream shop, kind of in a chalkboard style like you’d see in official design 26603pb469. And another sticker for the ramps, done in a graffiti style. I couldn’t make sets without paying tribute to all our AFOLs and my two Little antennaed buddies, you’ll be seeing them soon in every LEGO store 🤭
