Skater boys and girls will be stoked to hear that there will soon be a new indoor (read: fully air-conditioned!) skatepark and skateboarding school opening in the Dhoby Gaut district—the largest one in Singapore!
The 6,708 square foot space is opened by local skateboarding school, Por Vida Skateboarding, and will be located at the basement of GR.iD Mall. This is the only facility in Singapore dedicated solely to skateboarding; with a 100% sheltered indoor space, Por Vida ensures that skateboard enthusiasts can hone their skills and connect with other like-minded skaters at any time of day, rain or shine.
The new Por Vida Skateboarding Indoor Park & School can hold up to 35pax, and features specially designed skate obstacles like mini ramps, quarter pipes, a flat bank, flat bar and rails, manual pad, benches, ledges and even a wave ramp! Even if you’re not a skater, you’re also welcome to come and hang out at Por Vida: rollerblading, roller skating, longboarding and surf skating are all welcome!
You can choose to bring your own skating gear, or rent/purchase the ones available at Por Vida’s retail space. The new skatepark and skateboarding school also provides a rest and refreshment area, and visitors can feel free to freshen up using the mall’s shower facility.
The new Por Vida Por Vida Skateboarding Indoor Park & School will officially open its doors on 1st October 2022 and entrance fees are priced at $15 for 2 hours. In the meantime, sign up for Por Vida’s classes to receive an exclusive goodie bag filled with Por Vida Skateboarding merchandise (for new sign ups only, limited to the first 50 sign ups)! Por Vida has been offering lessons to children and adults alike since 2012, and skaters of all ages and skill levels are welcome to join. To find out more about classes and to sign up, see here.
