By Locals, For Riders — Boechout’s Authentic Skate Spot


Located in Boechout it has been a local skate spot for years, serving skateboarders, BMX riders, and scooter users from the Antwerp area. Once worn and uneven, it was renovated in 2020 with a new concrete surface and safety upgrades along the nearby bike path.

Today, it remains an active community hub, hosting small contests and daily sessions. While Boechout plans an even larger future skatepark involving local skaters at De Bunderkes.
