Berlin Buch Skatepark

Berlin Buch Skatepark, also known as Camacrew Skatepark Berlin Buch, is a notable spot within Berlin's skateboarding scene. This park has undergone several changes and renovations over the years, reflecting the evolution of skate culture in the area. Originally built with a focus on street skating, it features a variety of obstacles including a miniramp (150 cm high), a pyramid, curbs, a wheelie table, a rail, and quarter pipes. Its design is aimed at providing a balance of features for both beginner and intermediate skaters.

The park has seen periods of neglect, with skaters reporting it being in poor condition around 2015 and 2018, where it was described as "not usable" and in desperate need of revitalization. However, in recent years, it has been revived and renamed under the Camacrew brand, which helped inject new energy into the park. This redevelopment aligns with Berlin’s ongoing efforts to support skate culture and urban sports facilities.

In terms of design and construction, while specific architects or companies involved in the original build or subsequent renovations are not widely documented, it mirrors the DIY skatepark culture often seen in Berlin, where local skate crews frequently engage in shaping and remodeling parks. The park, being a part of the broader public space, likely benefited from local community initiatives and possibly public funding aimed at sports and youth culture.

Located near the Buch S-Bahn station, the park is easily accessible, making it a convenient destination for skaters in the northern part of Berlin. It continues to serve as an essential hub for local skateboarders, particularly with its recent improvements, and stands as a symbol of the community-driven skateboarding movement in the city​.
