Facility Specification Pack
Wheeled-recreation facilities need flow, progression, fall zones, drainage, rider separation and inspection to work together. Pump tracks, skatepark street/park systems and BMX racing/freestyle are different disciplines and should not be collapsed into one generic ramp layout.

PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01
PROJECT INTENT
Define the facility level before selecting systems.
Club / academy
Club / skills venue with progression zones, lighting, storage and repeat programme use.
Competition
Competition-capable discipline-specific venue using current World Skate/UCI requirements.
Elite / major venue
Major event / destination riding venue with spectators, timing/display, media and professional operations.
02
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.
geometry
Separate pump-track loops, skate street/park zones, BMX race/freestyle or other riding disciplines before fixing geometry; each has different flow and safety requirements.
surface
Surface continuity, grip, drainage, transitions and impact durability are fundamental to rider control and maintenance.
equipment
Modules, features, rails, coping, start gates or discipline-specific equipment need exact product/competition evidence where applicable.
lighting
Avoid glare and deep shadows on transitions, landings, rails and route changes; event/video use adds vertical-lighting needs.
spectators
Separate riding lines and fall/runout zones from viewing, waiting and circulation.
structure
Modules, ramps, start structures, lighting and spectator elements require foundation/anchoring and structural review.
environment
Rain, frost, heat, UV, leaves/debris and drainage materially change riding safety and maintenance.
accessibility
Inclusive public-realm access, viewing and beginner/adaptive programming should be considered at facility level.
storage
Maintenance tools, modular spares, event/timing equipment and mobile features need secure storage and service access.
technology
Timing, lap/ride data, cameras, FÍSVOR, PA and access systems can support competitions and commercial venues.
evidence
World Skate facility certification distinguishes recreational and competition skatepark classes; UCI publishes separate 2026 BMX Racing and Freestyle regulations.
lifecycle
Inspect riding surfaces, joins, modules, rails/coping, drainage, lighting, signage and spectator barriers; close unsafe features until repaired.

DRAWING & SUBMITTAL ROADMAP
Draw the interfaces that can create procurement errors.
Flow / route plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Feature / transition plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Fall/runout zones
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Surface/drainage section
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Lighting plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Spectator/barrier plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Maintenance access
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Event/timing layout
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
05
EVIDENCE & RELEASE
Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.
Governing rule
Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.
Exact product evidence
Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.
Installed outcome
Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.
Project engineering
Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.
Commercial release
Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK
Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.
Standing water
Review drainage, low points and blocked outlets.
Abrupt / unsafe transition
Inspect module alignment, deformation and geometry.
Surface becomes slippery
Remove contamination/debris and inspect finish.
Rider conflicts
Review route flow, entry/exit and mixed-skill zoning.
Loose feature / rail
Close feature and inspect anchors/structure.
Event spectators enter riding zone
Improve barriers, circulation and event controls.
08
PRIMARY GOVERNING REFERENCES
Verify final requirements at the official source.
World Skate Skatepark Facility Certification
Official certification rules distinguish recreational and competition skatepark classes for indoor/outdoor facilities.
UCI Regulations
Current 2026 UCI regulations include separate BMX Racing and BMX Freestyle rules.
SUPPLY BOUNDARY
Apollo is supply-only.
Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
