Addis Skatepark

In April 2016, Make Life Skate Life and Ethiopia Skate constructed Addis Skatepark to provide the youth of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with a free-of-charge, safe, and accessible place to skate. The 600 m² concrete skatepark was built in three weeks by a team of 60 volunteer skatepark builders from over 20 countries who worked with local youth to teach them about concrete skatepark construction. The skatepark provides a space to inspire creativity and community through skateboarding, accommodating the growing demand for skateboarding in a safe place in Ethiopia.
