Where the Wheels Meet the Woods, Kapellen’s Concrete Corner!
Located in the town of Kapellen (postal code 2950), Antwerp Province, Belgium. Originally established in early 2000s, has undergone significant transformations over the years.
Originally featuring a very basic modular setup, the park was replaced with a concrete facility equipped with various core obstacles and ramps, including a flatrail, bank, quarterpipe, hubba, funbox, ledge, manual-pad, roll-ins & curb.
Since May 2024, the previous original skatepark was dismantled while construction for new park paved way at the same location.
The new facility has recently been re-opened in June 20th 2025 featuring a modern design with expanded features to cater to a wider range of users.
