The skate park includes three successive bowls. One of them belonged to the old skate and is maintained; it is the mythical hellcurvin (bowl which came to be known worldwide through the great skater Tony Hawk computer game). An area dedicated to street with multiple elements and a snake run zone are also incorporated in the design.
