Designs for a skate park unveiled in Enzauenpark, showcased by architects
In the vibrant city of Pforzheim, exciting developments are underway for the skateboarding and BMX community. The city council, with a unanimous decision made in May 2022, has chosen to build a new skate park in Enzauenpark.
The skate park in Enzauenpark is currently undergoing new construction, with landscape architecture firm Maier from Cologne presenting three different designs for the facility. These designs have taken shape following two successful and well-attended participation workshops, with Ralf Maier, a former professional BMX rider and German champion, playing a significant role.
Ralf Maier's background and expertise in BMX and skate park planning have been beneficial for the project, as he has worked closely with city officials and the public to incorporate suggestions and ideas into the designs. His presence at the events has been a source of inspiration for attendees, who have been eager to contribute to the development of the project.
The third and final public participation event for the skate park project will take place on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at 5 PM, in the Old City Garden in Enzauenpark, Hohwiesenweg 40. This event is open to all skaters, BMX riders, scooter riders, and interested parties, and Mayor Peter Boch has expressed delight at the number of people participating in shaping the new facility.
The preferred location for the skate park is south of the Enz, near the now-defunct sports facility "Holzhof". Concrete plans for the skate park are now available, and the designs are expected to be finalised following the upcoming event.
While there are no further public participation events planned for now, the city council encourages everyone to stay tuned for updates on the construction progress. For those seeking more information, up-to-date municipal planning documents can be found on the city's official website, or you may contact local authorities for the most recent details on the skate park project.
