What Happens When Vans Builds a Park For An Event And Leaves It Behind?



Prepare to be inspired by what happens to a community when Vans builds a skatepark in Malmö Sweden and leaves it behind....

The Kroksbäck Skatepark was originally built in Malmö, Sweden for the Vans Park Series World Championship final in 2016. Once the event was over the skatepark was left behind for the city to enjoy and what has developed since is more than anyone expected. In particular, a group of local kids have picked up skateboarding for the first time and have made the skatepark their second home. This is a story about that community and the power of skateboarding.
