De Skill Garden is a new way of thinking about sports and play facilities. It offers a place in the public space that is all about stimulating, challenging and enjoying exercise. A place that is part of the living environment, of work and leisure time and where people can meet and be together.
The physical elements that are used in the Skills Garden have the great advantage that they are interesting for many different target groups (young people, the elderly, the disabled, top sports, associations, etc.). And what could be better than a public space where different target groups, both organized and unorganized, can come to exercise and be together. The design of the Skills Garden is tailor-made. Together with the various stakeholders in the area (residents, education, care institutions, personal trainers, etc.), the Skills Garden is set up and the environment is included in the thinking of the Athletic Skill Model.
At Velosolutions asphalt PumpTracks we build from the vision of making sports and playing accessible. We believe it is important that everyone can develop in sports, regardless of age or background. We see our PumpTracks as social meeting places for young and old, where everything with wheels can go. This idea is a perfect match with the ASM model and we were very pleased that René Wormhoudt, founder of the Athletic Skills Model, asked us to add a PumpTrack to the Skills Garden Almere. We were also able to advise on the design of the WaveLine, which allows the pump technology to be applied even more widely. The Velosolutions PumpTrack was commissioned by Dusseldorp realized for the municipality of Almere.
