Then, take the first left and park your car. the skatepark is behind the soccer field. For any information: www.elboskatepark.org info@elboskatepark.org
Bologna has over 40 km of arcades in the town center. If you push your skate under the arcades in any direction you can find stair sets, curbs and bumps. The flat is usually made by marble and is very good. You can skate them also in raining or snowing days. Some sections are sloped so you can do some "urban downhill". Don't stop too much in the same place in order to avoid problems with local inhabitants or with "strange" people walking around Bologna in the night.
Near the exibition area under the Kenzo towers there are some hard banks with gaps and hips height 2mt and more surfaced with blocks and with bad flat.
6 stairs set in Via rizzoli, one of the most important street in Bologna with marble flat on both landing and top. Unfortunately the run-up is very shoort. Unskateable on friday and saturday night because the area is full of people.
Large 5 stairs set in Via indipendenza with long and smooth run-in but landing on small stone blocks. At the beginning of Via Indipendenza, starting from Piazza Maggiore, 50 mt on your right.
Under a portico in Via marconi there are three big marble boxes completely smooth 2 mt long the corner is rounded but still grindable in both bs and fs. Unfortunately local skaters doesn't like skateboarders and you ll'be kicked out in few minutes. From the train station take via Amentola in direcion of piazza dei martiri, you'll find them on your left.
Since some years ago it's the most active street spot in Bologna, it's a litle plaza rounded by two steps. Local skaters bring here all kind of ramps and obstacles. The spot change often because the security empty out it periodically. The squareis just in front of a primary school so, when the evening sessions ends, it's better stop skateing for few minutes. The most acrive period is in summer when schools are closed To get there take bus n° 27 direction corticella till the end of the line. The spot is near the orange buildings you'll se near the bus stop. Go get there by car exit to CastelMaggiore on the highway follow "castelmaggionre" signals. when the street make a 90 degrees curve, take Via byron on your left. At the end of the street you're arrived. Pleas, if you come here to skate respect the spot (no graffiti, no trash, no killed kids and please put back obstacles after usage). Much beer!
