Thrillseekers can seek out all-weather fun at Por Vida Skateboarding, Singapore’s largest indoor skatepark, when it opens on 1 October 2022.
The local skateboarding school’s air-conditioned 6,708 square feet skatepark is located in the basement of GR.iD Mall along Selegie Road, round the corner from School of the Arts. It is the only indoor space in Singapore with facilities for skateboarding.
Other than skateboarding, the park also welcomes rollerblading and roller skating, as well as other land board sports such as longboarding and surf skating.
Singapore’s Largest Indoor Skatepark
Por Vida Skateboarding is fitted out with different skate obstacles to offer varying levels of challenge to skaters. These obstacles range from simple ramps like flat banks and quarter pipes to larger obstacles like mini ramps and pump tracks. It is also fitted out with different rails that skaters can practise on.
Por Vida Skateboarding also offers classes for novices to learn the ropes, oops, ramps. Por Vida Skateboarding students vary in ages — from as young as five years old to even those in their 60s.
There is also the option for students and visitors to rent their own skate gear onsite if they don’t have their own.
For a break in between runs, skateboarders can also head to the rest and refreshment area within the indoor skatepark.

Pham Tan, Founder of Por Vida Skateboarding, shared, “We are excited to offer the skateboarding community a versatile and conducive space where they can hone their skills and gather with like-minded skateboarding enthusiasts — no matter the weather. While there are many great skateparks in Singapore, skateboarders are often subject to hot or rainy weather conditions. With Por Vida Skateboarding Indoor Park and School being an indoor and centrally-located space, we hope to welcome skateboarders of all ages and skill levels with a thoughtfully-designed skatepark that features a wide variety of fun skate obstacles.”
