Kitintale, near Calvary Ministries/Box 806, Kampala, Uganda
Kitintale skatepark is a concrete street focused park in a back and forth setup. In 2006, Jackson Mubiru and a South African friend called Shael Swart built Uganda’s first and only skateboard ramp in Kitintale, Kampala with locally made bricks. Jack’s family supplied the land and a department store donated two skateboards to the ramp.
In June of that year, Jack met a Canadian filmmaker and skateboarder from Vancouver named Brian Lye. Later that year Jack and Brian made a plan to build a small course beside the ramp. This was the beginning of Uganda’s and even East Africa’s first skateboard park. To avoid paying a construction fee, they told the authorities they were building an enclosure for a pet crocodile. The park was designed by the Canadian designers Matthew Morgan and Brian Lye.
Further design specific advice was received from Grindline Skateparks, based in Seattle, USA. The whole park was built by hand by the youth of the community and funded by friends from all over the world. The Skull Bowl was done by Betonlandschaften for SkateAid.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
