Lugano Skateboard Mania


...If you feel like you're crazy enough or if you get bored of the usual sport activities, here we have the solution for You ! ...At only 10 minutes walking (5 skateboarding...) from USI , in the beautiful environment of the Cinestar parking, a group of Swiss guys in the '80s built their own paradise ! Skatepark Lugano is part of "Centro sportivo Cornaredo" (Via Trevano) and thanks to its free access, it allows lots of young people to go there and create their tricks.
Don't think you are too old to try ! The skatepark staff is keen to help everyone to approach this discipline. You can try by yourself or in a group, and they can also provide you some equipment if you lack of it.
...Otherwise...if your not confortable enough with this "thrilling" activity, don't worry,there's also place for you: in the bar just in the middle of the Park Happy Hours & Parties are organized every week on Thursday from 18.30pm with good music and drinks !

Next time I'll bring my downhill-longboard and challenge the pipe ; ).
Another tip: Train your balance on the skateboard in late autumn and winter, go for watersports in summer!!
At Lake Lugano or nearby Lake Como there are various schools for windsurfing, kitesurfing and waterskiing/wakeboarding!
Make a beginners-course, rent the equipment and then: hang loose...
