“The skatepark is a place where we go play, hang out and enjoy ourselves with friends. The camp is not a good place to play, it’s dirty and there is no one to play with. I wish there was a place like that at the camp where we could play too”
7Hills Skatepark is a free of charge, community-built concrete skatepark in downtown Amman, Jordan. During the three-week build, an international team of professional skatepark builders worked with local youth to teach them about concrete skatepark construction. The skatepark is situated in one of the few public parks in Amman.
Inspired by the skatepark, 7Hills developed into an organization that organizes weekly skate classes and a loaner program with skateboards that are free to use at the skatepark. In 2021, 7Hills built a second skatepark in Amman and continues to develop more public spaces and reactivate more unused areas in the city through skateboarding.
