Build Projects

INASH AL-USRA SKATEPARK, AL-BIREH (2023)

In 2023 we collaborated with Betongpark.Ltd and Inash Al-Usra on a small concrete skateapark at the Inash AlUsra association in Al-Bireh, Ramallah.

Established in the city of Al-Bireh in 1965, Inash Al-Usra is a non-profit, charitable and developmental Palestinian women’s association. Although small, it will provide the girls with a safe space to learn and practice skateboarding under the guidance of local skateboarders. The park is also open for public skate sessions several times a week.

ROSA PARK, ASIRA AL-SHAMALIYA (2015)

'Rosa Park' is SkatePal's second concrete skatepark in the West Bank, and the largest in the country. 

Situated in the northern West Bank village of Asira Al-Shamaliya, the 700m2 concrete park was built by twenty international volunteers in October 2015. All materials for the park were sourced locally in the village.

The park is a collaboration between SkatePal, The Palestinian House of Friendship and the Asira Al-Shamaliya Council. 

Local and international volunteers are hosting regular classes at the Rosa Park, providing loaner skateboarding and safety equipment to be used during the sessions. The park welcomes local youth with a daily average attendance of 40 actively participating young people (significantly higher over the weekend), alongside accompanying families hosting picnics, trying skateboarding themselves and interacting with the communal space.

SAREYYET CLUB, RAMALLAH (2018 - 2023)

From 2018 - 2023, SkatePal hosted regular skateboarding classes at The Sareyyet Club in central Ramallah with the help of local and international volunteers, using wooden ramps built & maintained by local skaters

The classes were a huge success with a 50% female participation rate.

JAYYOUS SKATEPARK (2017)

Jayyous Skatepark was built by SkatePal in collaboration with local non-profit SkateQilya. Jayyous is a village of 5000 people in the north western part of the West Bank, in the district of Qalqilya.

The skatepark was designed by SkatePal in conjunction with the Community Collective and East by West Co and built with the help of 20 international SkatePal volunteers in September 2017. 

Upon completion, SkatePal volunteers hosted daily classes at the park throughout 2018. The day-to-day management of the park is now run by SkateQilya.
