Get your skate on

We have a resident skateboarding expert at What’s On, Maverick Buckeridge, so if you haven’t checked out our skateboarding guide yet, where have you been? If you want a great recommendation from the expert, who rated it 4.74 out of 5, head to DAMAC Hills Skate Park, Dubai. It’s striped with officially commissioned graffiti and is arranged to provide a seamless flow of mini-wheeled traffic. It also has the advantage of being surrounded by serene greens and a multi-sport court with a bouldering/climbing wall.
