This article is just a small sample of the indoor parks in the country. In 2021 “skatepark academies” have popped up in Busan, Iksan, Wonju, Gyeonggi-do, and numerous locations in Seoul. And just to be clear, you do not have to take lessons at any of these places. For between fifteen and twenty thousand won, anyone can skate all day.
Skateboarding and photography go hand in hand.
In the same way that it would not make sense to build a race track without consulting with someone who knows about racing, or to build a ski jump with someone who has never tried on a pair of skis, building a proper area for skateboarding, be it a skate plaza or a skatepark, requires close cooperation between the concerned parties: those who live near the area, those who will use it, and those who allocate the funding for it.
