Zimskate, the leading skateboarding and roller sports organisation in Zimbabwe, has announced plans to construct
Greengrove Skatepark, a community project born out of the need for more recreational safe-spaces in the city of Harare.
This came following the public launch of the Greengrove Nature Reserve, a natural habitat for multiple species of flora, fauna, a natural water spring and Willie’s Dam.
At the official ceremony conducted back in June 2025, the City of Harare blessed the conservation of the land as well as the setting up of a recreational park on site that will include numerous sporting activities including skateboarding.
The launch of the Greengrove Nature reserve featured over 6 schools from Harare East district, the local councilor and other representatives from the City of Harare.
This project coincides with the Zimbabwe COP15 focus on Wetland conservation.
“It’s an opportunity for Zimbabwe to showcase good environmental management while also catering to the pressing community need of better education and family oriented recreational safe-spaces,” said Lindani Mataure Director of Zimskate and Committee member in the Greengrove Nature Reserve Trust.
