At first glance, Policarpa Skatepark looks tiny and definitely lacks a bit of flow, rocking just a quarter, banks, and stairs. But once you look closer, the whole surrounding area is packed with extra ledges and stairs built specifically to back it up.

Seeing Colombia back skate culture like this—not just throwing money at it, but actually dropping parks into prime spots—is seriously awesome.
