SINGAPORE'S first international-standard extreme sports facility was unveiled on Thursday, marking the latest chapter in the ongoing multimillion-dollar upgrading of East Coast Park.

Sprawled over 1.4 hectares, Xtreme SkatePark comprises three courses for skateboarders, inline skaters and BMX bikers to try out.

It was designed and built by Australian firm Convic Design, which also created the world's largest skate park in Shanghai.
