If you or your teen is the outdoorsy, adrenaline-chasing sort, chances are they’ve been toting around a skateboard (or asking for one!). Don’t worry, they won’t have to go too far to find an ideal spot for learning tricks; Singapore has a number of well-equipped dedicated skate parks around the island. We’ve sniffed out five of the best places for kicking, flipping and making new friends!
