Welcome to Skarpnäck Plaza / Brotherhood Plaza, a cooperation between the city of Stockholm (Skarpnäck District), David Krug and Brotherhood. Together we have created a unique skate plaza and chill park.
The concept that sets this plaza apart from other skate plazas is that it is not made of the common light grey skatepark concrete and plaza granite as a big grey uniform structure. Instead we use colorful sculptures and many styles of materials and obstacles, giving different areas of the plaza different architectural personalities. Many grass gaps and bushes adds to this unique plaza.
David on Brotherhood brought the iniative of this park to Stockholm council during 2003-2008. Between 2006 and 2012 we built a big area with lots of creations. The idea is street feeling so we build things for both skateboarding and for just friendly hanging out for all ages. Examples are colorful art sculptures for skateboarding as well as kids climbing and playing, barbacue places, slides, planting fruit trees. Next to the street plaza we built a wide yellow spinebowl.
Through being top voted place in Stockholm in a voting contest for lights we got a chance to design 24 spotlights to keep the park open in the evenings. A thought for the park is to inspire upcoming of more colorful and green youth parks and some are starting to emerge.
