Directly located on Cologne's Agrippinaufer, in the heart of the vibrant urban Rheinauhafen district, lies the Skate Plaza KAP686. Spread over a 2,000 square-meter area with smooth paving, it offers diverse skate features including curbs, China banks, parallel manual pads, and the internationally renowned Beer Banks inspired by Barcelona. Both its architectural style and equipment were designed in intensive collaboration with the architectural office Metrobox and the local organization Dom Skateboarding e.V., incorporating experiences from comparable sites.
The significance of this plaza transcends national borders: regularly hosting acclaimed skateboarding events and professional competitions, it affirms Cologne’s reputation as an open, sportively and culturally ambitious city. Visitors appreciate not only the excellent skate facilities but also the space’s integration of vibrant urban enjoyment and social inclusivity within public areas.
The acronym KAP refers to the local neighborhood around the Südbrücke (South Bridge), while the Rhine kilometer marker 686 ultimately inspired the facility’s name. Closely situated to the city centre and perfectly connected by public transportation, KAP686 combines urban lifestyle with individual freedom of movement and sustainable city culture.
