Desert Dolphin Skatepark was constructed as a part of the Netflix original film Skater Girl and is now a free public skatepark located in Khempur, Rajasthan. It is one of India's largest skate parks.[1][2]

Construction

As the central set of the film Skater Girl, the filmmakers decided to build Rajasthan's first and one of India's largest skateparks in Khempur, Rajasthan.[3]

The skatepark was built in 45 days over 8 weeks during a challenging monsoon season. The Park spans over 14,500 sq.ft and is situated on a one acre campus. The park was built and is managed by the Makijany Sisters.[4]

The skatepark was built in partnership with Holystoked[5] and 100Ramps Construction Company[6] and is now run as a free community skatepark.[7][6]

Social impact

The social impact of skateboarding continues to positively influence the children of the local villages. The training and the access to a world class facility enabled four rural skaters, who had never stepped on a skateboard before the park was built, to represent Rajasthan in the National Skateboarding Championship in Chandigarh, April 2021.[8] The Desert Dolphin Skatepark continues to impact the lives of children through the many workshops, training and resident volunteers.[9][10]
