F51 is a new indoor park and recreation attraction located in Kent, England. The complex comprises three floors of skateparks designed by the Hollaway Studio. The building is a first-of-its-kind, marking the most levels of a skatepark in the world. It provides state-of-the-art facilities for skateboarders and BMX riders.
The F51 complex features massive concrete bowls and multi-level landscapes. It also contains a 15-meter-high climbing wall, a boxing ring, and a cafe on the ground floor for a post-skate snack. According to the design studio "F51 is all about young people, it's about regenerating a town for the next generation." The building stands against the norm by placing a skatepark in the town center, which is normally not the case.
