Bastion Skatepark Alba Iulia

Project

The skatepark lies in the former moat of the star-shaped Alba Carolina fortress in Alba Iulia (Romania). It spreads over several levels and is built from modular concrete skate elements that disappear from view beyond about 50 m. The historic fortress wall was restored during construction.

A skatepark that stays invisible from more than 50 m away was built in the former moat of the star-shaped Alba Carolina fortress in Alba Iulia, Romania. That is deliberate: the park should not disturb the look of the star fortress.

The historic fortress wall was restored during construction. The skatepark links the upper and lower town across several levels and shows how leisure use and heritage protection can go together. A+ Urban Design supplied the modular concrete elements and supported the project within the heritage-protection setting.
