Various skatepark projects and facilities in Spain are facing different challenges and developments. In Castelldefels, renovation works on the local skatepark have reached 80% completion. The facility, which will span 1,500 square meters and support disciplines such as BMX and scooter, is scheduled to open before the end of 2026.

In Palma, users of the Sa Riera skatepark have raised concerns regarding poor maintenance and deteriorating infrastructure. Volunteers have reportedly been performing manual repairs to cracks and holes, citing a lack of response from the Palma City Council regarding lighting and general upkeep.

In Ferrol, the local skate collective has accused municipal political parties of a double standard. The group claims that while the opposition blocked a proposed skatepark in Antón Varela Park citing the need to respect a memorial and resident peace, the city has since approved the Rock en Canido festival for that same location.
