The unique curved shapes which form the skate park seem to be inspired by the site's topography, which gradually decreases approaching the sea. The square is divided into an higher level from which the various curves depart, mimicking the local geography: dunes, waves, and the bay.
The park is built entirely of polished concrete, making it ideal to be crossed on wheels, while also creating a uniform, identifiable sign, a new landmark for the city. The flat area in the center redistributes the flux of skaters, according to the difficulty required form each route. "Our main ambition," says Guillermo de Diego, "was to transform the city of Mar del Plata into a reference for a sport that always attracts a young and diverse audience." Currently, the new public space is becoming a new social catalyst for both skaters and citizens, as well as for tourists.
