🚨 Dropping Sept 17 🚨 Decathlon Skateboarding x Make Life Skate Life clothing collection inspired by La Marsa Skatepark
Since 2021, Decathlon Skateboarding and Make Life Skate Life have been teaming up to build free, accessible skateparks for communities worldwide. La Marsa Skatepark in Tunisia was completed in February 2024 with support from the Decathlon Foundation.
The clothing line celebrates the spirit of skateboarding as a tool for connection, exchange, and opportunity. Part of the profits will directly support future skatepark projects, helping MLSL give more young people (including girls, refugees, and underserved youth, just like in La Marsa) the chance to skate, learn, and grow.
We’re stoked about how the collection looks and the impact it can create!

“The skatepark is a place where we can meet and progress. The skate scene is much bigger and stronger now, also many new kids started. We’re like a big family!”
La Marsa Skatepark is a collaborative initiative between Make Life Skate Life, the Tunisian skate collective Giraffe Crew, and Decathlon Tunisia. In a joint effort, the first-ever skatepark in the Maghreb, located in La Marsa, Tunisia, was revitalized and transformed into an international standard skatepark, providing a safe and accessible space dedicated to skateboarding.
At the skatepark, skateboarding is made accessible to individuals who wouldn't normally have access to it. We trained and employed local skate coaches, including female coaches, who hold weekly skate classes on Saturdays and Sundays. These initiatives benefit 60 participants per week, creating a supportive community and fostering skill development.
The park serves as a safe space for the entire community, welcoming at least 300 people each week. It not only promotes an active and healthy lifestyle but also provides recreational opportunities and fosters social cohesion.
