For one day only this Friday (28 Sep), Marina Mall Abu Dhabi is transforming into a skateboarders heaven, decking out its retail floor to accommodate a skateboarding training zone and DJ Booth.
Housing everything from equipment to specialist infrastructure, the skateboard park will accommodate all types of skateboarders, from extreme riders that can show off their street skating skills, to first-time skaters and young kids interested in taking up the sport.
Both types of skaters, whether newcomers or more experienced riders, are encouraged to get involved in the free activity throughout the day; with a number of expert demonstrations, skateboarding advice clinics on how to find the perfect stance and start carving out on the ramps, to best trick contests on display.
Operating for twelve hours only, the 10m x 10m skateboarding park will also include an activity village with a number of family friendly activities and different zones to cater to all of Marina Mall Abu Dhabi’s visitors, from chill out sections where shoppers can sit back and listen to the DJ spinning its beats, to a games lively section for kids and adults alike.
Opening at 10am until 10pm, Daman’s skateboarding park will supply all the skateboarding and safety equipment for participants.
Ultimately, the activations are a chance for Marina Mall Abu Dhabi visitors to prepare, practise and also be scouted for Daman’s main competitions taking place in Abu Dhabi later this year.
Marina Mall Abu Dhabi operating hours this Friday: 10:00am- 12:00am.
