Fields Of Play: Where The Action Happens
Vert
The Vert ramp for WSG ASU is World Skate's very own behemoth as seen at WSG Buenos Aires 2022 and WSG Rome 2024 previously!
Park
The Park terrain for WSG ASU is a permanent addition to Latin America's epic concrete skateboarding tradition and will feature in the 2031 Pan-American Games!
Street
The Street Field Of Play is a total rebuild of the pre-existing streetcourse to bring it up to international standards for future use as Paraguay aims to become a fixed destination for international skate events and action sports tourism!
