Text description provided by the architects. Av. Beira Mar is the main tourist area of the city of Fortaleza and is considered its main postcard. Recently, this waterfront has undergone a process of urban and architectural reorganization where, in this context, an old track was removed and a new, more modern, and the updated track was created for skateboarding. Skateboarding is a sport on the rise in Brazil and has great athletes who stand out on the international scene. This scene has expanded with the recent inclusion of the sport in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and the beautiful participation of the Brazilian team. The Skatepark project on Av. Beira Mar is located on Náutico beach, in a strategic location due to its easy access to urban mobility. The land has great landscape potential as well as good native vegetation. One of the main premises adopted in the equipment was to preserve the most relevant trees in order to conserve, as well as provide shade for the practice of the sport throughout the day.
