Apartment Cologne presents: Skate parks in the cathedral city!

Skateboarders can have a lot of fun in Cologne. The city offers various options. For years the topic of skateboarding wasn't important and wasn't taken seriously. However, there has been a lot of retrofitting in Cologne for several years!

Cologne is upgrading!

Lately, lots of professional spots have been built. Thanks to the well thought-out skateparks and the cool skate halls , Cologne rises to the top of the ranking of most locations in Germany, next to the city of Münster, right up to 1st place.

Welcome to KAP 686

The KAP 686 , for example, at Cologne's Rheinauhafen is one of the most popular hotspots that the skater scene from all over Germany appreciates. It was built at the end of July 2010. On its 2000 square meter illuminated street area made of high quality, large floor slabs, it has many attractions ready. In addition to Pier 7, parallel manual pads, chine banks, cubs, low to highs, he offers the well-known beer banks that are known from Barcelona. The skatepark is open 24/7 all year round. Of course it's free.

Skating under the zoo bridge

Another hotspot is the skate area under the Zoobrücke , not far from the banks of the Rhine in Cologne- Mülheim . Not only skateboarders will find what their hearts desire here, but also scooter riders, BMX riders and inline skaters can put their skills to the test. You can skate under the roof of the bridge even in bad weather and light rain. The area is very large and offers various fruit trees. There is room for everyone and nobody is hindered by others. It is also open all year round.

Skating in trinkets

The newly built Miniramp Lohserramp can be recommended for all friends of ramps. It was completely rebuilt in 2012 in Cologne- Nippes . It is a real highlight for everyone who loves to skate. It's a versatile mini ramp that offers poolsides, transitions, and varying heights. There is sure to be something for everyone. Since 2014 there has been a cuboid and a cup on the streets next to the Rempp. These are pieces that previously stood in the old Lentpark and were virtually inherited. The mini ramp stands in the middle of green slopes and meadows. When the weather is good, it's incredibly nice to drive there. It is free to use and open all year round.

The Vorgebirgspark skate facility

Next to list is the skate facility in the Vorgebirgspark , which is located in Cologne's Südstadt. In addition to concrete curbs and other street elements, there is a vertical seesaw. You can practice oldschool wallrides very well.

Skating in the Lentpark

The next cool hotspot is at Lentpark . The park has been open since October 2013. In a completely redesigned edition, it offers everything that brings fun and a good mood on almost 800 square meters. This was only made of concrete. Only a few edges and the hydrant are made of metal. With Wales, manial pass, curbs and urban setups, the skatepark offers a wide selection for all skaters. Furthermore, the skaters can show their skills on banks, quarter pipes and street elements. An absolute must for all fans of the skateboarding and BMX scene. The entire area is surrounded by green, trees and bushes create a pleasant atmosphere. The forest also offers many opportunities to rest in a shady spot and be fit again for the next round.

We wish you a lot of fun skating! Many thanks to my son Luca for this interesting article and best regards from the Cologne holiday apartment!
