Buqiet Skate Park

Even though extreme sport such as skateboard and freestyle BMX has become more popular in Bandung, there are still few open park in the city that can be used for extreme sport. One of the place where Bandung skaters use to hang out is in Buqiet Skate Park.

If you just want to hang out, this place is really open and welcome. But to test your skill, you get to pay for about Rp. 20.000,- to use the ramp. Buqiet Skate Park has the facilities such as rails, street-like venue, and also some quarter pipes and vert section. This place is fancy enough for Bandung youth to hang out.

To get to the park is not that easy. It is located in the south west of Bandung, and the road to get there is very small and winding. You might want to check their schedule as well, as there used to be some timings for skaters and for bikers.
