RAKTDA launches Skatepark at SaqrPark

Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) launched a brand-new skatepark at Saqr Park, its latest outdoor attraction in the emirate’s largest recreational park, at a fun-fueled family event last month.

Raki Phillips, CEO of RAKTDA, shares, “It caters not only to people who love adrenaline sports, but also to those simply looking for somewhere fun to spend time with their family and friends. To reinforce the inclusivity of the new attraction, we invited leading international skateboarders such as Isabelly Avila and Virginia Fortes to take to the ramps, promoting the sport to all guests, regardless of age or gender. A key differentiator of our strong active tourism portfolio is its sustainable nature, in this case showcasing the stunning flora and fauna in the emirate, thanks to its unique nature inspired design and position within Ghaf Tree reserve.”

Eng. Ahmed Al Hammadi, Director General of Public Services Department, commented,

“This project was completed in conjunction with a number of other development projects for the park with the aim of meeting different aspirations of the ever-growing visitors and residents of the emirate. With the aim of increasing sports facilities for the youth, the recreational space spans an area of 620 metres and is centred around greenspace in Ghaf Tree reserve within Saqr Park.”
