La Marsa Skatepark is a collaborative initiative between Make Life Skate Life, the Tunisian skate collective Giraffe Crew, and Decathlon Tunisia. In a joint effort, the first-ever skatepark in the Maghreb, located in La Marsa, Tunisia, was revitalized and transformed into an international standard skatepark, providing a safe and accessible space dedicated to skateboarding.
At the skatepark, skateboarding is made accessible to individuals who wouldn't normally have access to it. We trained and employed local skate coaches, including female coaches, who hold weekly skate classes on Saturdays and Sundays. These initiatives benefit 60 participants per week, creating a supportive community and fostering skill development.
The park serves as a safe space for the entire community, welcoming at least 300 people each week. It not only promotes an active and healthy lifestyle but also provides recreational opportunities and fosters social cohesion.
