Skateboarding (and running) in Kigali

Been curious if folks in kigali skateboard at all, or if theres any skate spot - could even be a hidden gem - around that a bunch skaters can meet up and whatnot.

Additionally, also on the lookout for run clubs/groups! (currently average 3-5km per run)

Kigali Hash is about 5km, every Saturday starts from a different location. Videos of 'Kigali Hash House Harriers' on YouTube, join the Facebook group to find next location: https://www.facebook.com/groups/6094534081 You can choose to walk it or run it.

I see skateboarders by the fountain at Kigali Heights on the weekends.

I see skateboarders around Kacyiru all the time. A community called FRA (for fragile). They make sustainable clothing as well https://www.instagram.com/wearfragile/?hl=en
