01/11/2022LEGO is perhaps the world’s most popular modular toy system. What better place to install a modular pumptrack than at the “Home of the Brick”, LEGO House in Billund, Denmark?
Local families in Billund, seeking to establish more skate facilities for kids and adults, created the Billund Skatepark Association. The group coordinated fundraising for a modular pumptrack that can be moved to different locations around the city. The LEGO family provided funds to support the project.
“Billund is a fast-growing little town at the moment as LEGO built their new big HQ in the center. Since much of Billund is under construction, the modular pumptrack is a great solution for us as we are able to change places,” says parent and skater Auriane Knapp.
LEGO House offers creative experiences for LEGO fans, school groups, and companies seeking inspirational experiences for their teams. The skatepark association’s modular pumptrack has been hosted by LEGO House two times this past year.
“The Parkitect Pumptrack is easy to handle,” said Auriane Knapp. “It’s like a big LEGO set. We are parents, not professional builders, and we managed to build and unbuild the modular pumptrack several times already.”
Moving and setting up the pumptrack in new locations is a community effort as well. “We have such a good and fun building experience with the Parkitect Pumptrack,” says Knapp. “We are so proud, even some kids and teenagers help us when we build and unbuild it.”
