The Quezon City Government has officially opened a new competition-standard skatepark and public tennis courts at the Quezon Memorial Circle, expanding free and accessible spaces for sports, recreation, and community engagement.
The new 3,758-square-meter skatepark marks a major investment in youth development, active lifestyles, and inclusive public infrastructure. Designed to serve both beginners and professional athletes, the facility positions Quezon City as a growing hub for urban sports and outdoor recreation.
Mayor Joy Belmonte said the project reflects the city’s commitment to building safer, more inclusive, and future-ready public spaces where communities can thrive.
“We want our young people to have safe, high-quality spaces where they can stay active, express themselves, develop their talents, and build meaningful connections with others. This skatepark is more than just a sports facility — it is a public space designed for community, creativity, and opportunity,” Mayor Belmonte said.
Originally envisioned as a recreational venue, the skatepark was upgraded into a competition-standard facility capable of hosting organized events and tournaments while remaining fully accessible to the public.
The design was developed by E-Sports International in collaboration with Filipino skateboarders to ensure an authentic riding experience that supports smooth flow across both street- and park-style disciplines.
The facility features a street course equipped with rails, stairs, ledges, and technical elements, alongside a park-style bowl designed for advanced skating and high-performance runs. All skateable surfaces were constructed using high-strength concrete to deliver durability, rider safety, and world-class riding quality.
To ensure inclusivity and safer circulation, beginner-friendly areas are separated from advanced sections, allowing skaters of different skill levels to use the facility comfortably and safely.
The skatepark also includes a casual practice bowl for beginners, a 260-seat spectator bleacher area, and PWD-accessible ramps integrated throughout the site to make the facility welcoming and accessible to all.
Built for year-round use, the park is equipped with an upgraded drainage system to minimize flooding and water buildup during heavy rains, as well as lighting systems that allow safe evening operations.
For safety, only skateboards and inline skates are allowed inside the facility. Helmet use is mandatory, while elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards are strongly encouraged.
Alongside the skatepark, Quezon City also opened new public tennis courts within the Circle, further strengthening the area’s transformation into a premier destination for athletics, wellness, and outdoor leisure.
The expansion forms part of the city government’s broader initiative to activate public open spaces and make sports and recreation more accessible to every QCitizen.
All users are required to complete and sign a waiver prior to entry. Additional schedules, guidelines, and applicable fees will be announced through the official social media pages of the Quezon City Government in the coming weeks.
