Damac Properties, a leading UAE-based luxury developer, said it has officially opened the gates to the new 2,000-sq-m skatepark located within its premium residential community, Damac Hills, in Dubai, UAE.

Set against a lush green landscape and located within the heart of the thriving community, the skatepark is designed for trick skating and offers residents a one-of-a-kind leisure venue for skaters of all levels, said the Emirati developer in its statement.

Earlier this month, the skatepark hosted its premier Frame Skate Jam event by Select Shop Frame, the region’s first Japanese lifestyle shop.

The event celebrated the region’s growing skateboarding community and the evolution of skateparks.

The opening of the skatepark marks a busy time for the community, as additional facilities continue to open at Damac Hills, said a company spokesman.

"During the same month, Golf Town, ready-built homes with world-class views of Damac Hills’ 7,300-yard golf course, was also introduced," he stated.

"Adjacent to the new skatepark, spacious apartments at Golf Town can be previewed in person, or from the comfort of one’s home through Damac's online virtual platform, enhanced by immersive VR technology," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
