The skate park Märkisches Viertel, boasts a street section and two bowls. The smaller bowl resembles a swimming pool, while the larger one incorporates a mini snakerun that leads to its narrow, deep end. A volcano-shaped structure takes center stage, intended for gaining momentum. Surprisingly, the bowl didn’t catch the interest of the scooter-riding kids. The street section includes steeper, more prominent transitions where one can smoothly glide up and down, or practice their snaps.

The Spandau Gatow (Kladow) pump track is located in Berlin, Germany. As it’s not as centrally located as other skate parks in Berlin, it tends to be less crowded. As the track is less steep compared to the one at Mellowpark Berlin, it’s well-suited for beginners. Nestled within a residential area and surrounded by nature, the track offers a peaceful setting. However, the absence of toilets and nearby cafés or restaurants poses a minor drawback.

Inside Gleisdreieck Park in Berlin, there are various skate locations. Therefore, make sure to double-check when you Google the location to find the one with the bowls. The “Green Waves” is another interesting spot in that area, but it will be covered in a different blog post. There are two bowls. The smaller one has coping all around, while the bigger bowl features a deep end, a love seat, a cradle, and a roll-in.

Opened in 2017, the skate park inside Poststadion Berlin offers a combination of a bowl and a street section. The bowl comes equipped with coping, and its height varies, allowing you to gradually increase the challenge from a small drop-in on the quarter pipe to bigger drop-ins on the opposite side. In addition to this, the bowl features two roll-ins, so you can safely build up some speed without having to drop in.

The Bernau Skatepark features a bowl, segmented into sections with and without coping, complimented by a roll-in. Additionally, it offers a street section equipped with a quarter-pipe and a bank. The skatepark was build by Populär Skateparks in 2017. During my visit to the skatepark last year, I unfortunately didn’t have my surfskate with me, so I’m unable to provide specific insights into the rideability of the bowl. However, the park was new at the time and I did observe the concrete was impressively smooth.

The Berlin Buch Skatepark, which opened in 2020, features both a bowl and a street section. The bowl is fully equipped with coping around its perimeter, and the site is pleasantly surrounded by lush greenery and trees. The street section incorporates a half-size bowl, an ideal spot for practicing drop-ins without the intimidating height of the full bowl. Not far from there, you’ll find a smaller quarter pipe - another great piece to practice drop-ins.
