We constructed and designed a polygon for skateboarding also known as skatepark by using computer programs and study of reference objects. Skatepark is designed to make the most out of the space in which it is placed. Depending on the way of production, skateparks can be divided into different types: wooden, concrete and modular skateparks. Standard elements such as flat base, obstacles, banks, curves and gaps are usually installed in the skatepark. We made an overview of most famous skateparks in Slovenia and abroad. We found out that the selected building material depends largely on the environment in which the skatepark is located. We demonstrated in detail the design, the development and the construction of the skatepark. The tests were carried out according to standard EN 14974: 2006 - Facilities for users of roller sports equipment – Safety requirements and test methods. Findings showed that computer-based design allows for a better representation and visualisation of complex forms of the skatepark construction, and that skatepark largely conforms to the standards requirements, therefore can be offered to the market with some improvements.
