Much more than just a skate park: Superkilen is an urban park for all ages, for friends, families and singles, for rich and poor, for people from the neighbourhood and residents of other districts, for Copenhageners and tourists. Superkilen belongs to everyone.
The September sun warms the shiny anthracite asphalt, the meadows glisten from the nighttime rain. Under a tree, a young woman sits on a bench with her thermos flask and reads a book. Next to her a bicycle is waiting to take her to the office. Behind them, fathers and mothers with their children, entrepreneurs, employees, pupils and students rush past the Superkilen Park on the two-lane cycle path: they are on their way to work, to school, to university. A female cyclist with glasses and blond ponytail pulls out towards the bank and says 'hi' to the woman reading. The girlfriends chat and have a cup of coffee together before cycling on. Then things gets loud: a school class storms onto the square with their scooters. Three elderly gentlemen play a game of chess on one of the tables unperturbed by them. The day begins.
