5 LEMVIG SKATEPARK

Synthesis of the case study

In the spring of 2013, Lemvig Municipality met with a group of citizens eager to transform an empty industrial lot on the city’s harbour front into an area of leisure and recreation. In order to meet the demands of the local population the Municipality became involved to help make the plans come to fruition. The result of this collaboration was an integrated skatepark plus urban park that offered a range of programmatic features and recreational opportunities. Set in beautiful surroundings, the park has created a new social space in Lemvig, attracting skaters and families from the entire region.
