Born from concrete, raised by skaters – Welcome to Les Cort’s heartbeat.
Opened in 2014, the Les Corts Skatepark or Skateplaza de Les Corts, was part of Barcelona’s initiative to create modern, inclusive urban spaces for youth and street culture.
Built on a former underused public area beneath an overpass, the park transformed the space into a 2,200 m² concrete playground blending architecture, art, and sport.
Its thoughtful design encourages smooth flow and creativity, making it one of the most loved street-skate destinations in the city.
Under the bridge, over the limits — that’s Les Corts.
