HT Arquitetura e Urbanismo has been designing and building a wide variety of projects and skateparks over the last few years. In this case, we have a very specific solution for the design of the central square of the "Vila do Chapéu" gated development, located on Taíba beach, 74 km from the city of Fortaleza, capital of the state of Ceará, Brazil. The space has 2 skateparks, 2 beach tennis courts, communal toilets, 1 coconut grove, 1 children's playground and a gym.

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.
