After Heartlake City added a Skate Park, it’s now time for the residents of LEGO® City to kickflip and grind on their very own Skate Park. Similar to other new LEGO City sets, the Skate Park offers a modular design, which offers a unique level of customisation and a consistent design standard to other sets in the range. Here’s a closer look at the LEGO City Street Skate Park.

The central point for the Skate Park is a converted shipping container. This is built on a 8×16 baseplate, as many of the recent LEGO City sets are. It’s a simple structure with minimal detail apart from a small seating area and table. This is then topped with two 8×8 plate ramps. These are brick-built ramps, which use a series of large slope bricks. One of the ramps features a couple of grab rails, acting as the launching point for a basketball hoop.
Another 8×16 section offers the most detailed of the set’s areas. This section features a smaller ramp and grind rail along with a couple of small wall panels sporting some colourful graffiti. Other sections include a road plate, a couple of ramps and a smaller grind ramp and rail. Thanks to all the little sections and how they can be connected together, the set really does offer a great level of creativity. Sections can either be connected on top of the two 8×16 sections or connected next to each other via Technic pins.
The set features four minifigures, although it’s less important with the LEGO City sets, they are all unique. They use a mix of new and existing elements to create each character. The city graffiti and pink-coloured tops are both new, plus this is only the second set to feature the blue legs with a prosthetic leg. The level of inclusivity in various LEGO sets is growing with each new release and it’s nice to see without it seeming a token gesture. Each minifigure has alternative headwear, so they can either feature a helmet or a hair/hood. Obviously, being a Skate Park, each minifigure has various skate-related accessories including a skateboard, skates, a scooter and a bike, appearing for the first time in black along with the scooter body featured in yellow for the first time.
Overall
The modular design of the set offers its best play feature as you can really get inventive with the combinations. Almost every surface can be reconfigured to create new areas. I also like the use of corrugated wall panels to give the impression of a shipping container being converted into a place to hang out. That really adds to the ‘street’ feel of the set. The minifigures are suitably designed to fit in with the skater culture of the overall set. It’s another set that offers something different for the LEGO City theme and seems partly connected to the upcoming animated series.
