Kid stuff in Beijing
 

Hello family experts in Beijing,

I am looking for two activities for my 12 year old son:

• A skate park (for skateboards)
  
• A gymnasium (equipped for gymnastics)

Right now he is a skateboard nut and he also competes in gymnastics at a high level back in California.

For skating, I have found the "Beijing International Fashion Sports Park", which looks amazing, but seems pretty far away (we are staying ground zero in Dongcheng). I was hoping for something a bit closer, maybe a smaller facility connected to a larger park or something.

Gymnastics: His club gym in Los Angeles has "open" or "free" time once a week where anybody can pay the fare, sign a waiver and go crazy. I was hoping to find something like this. I found the website "SportsBeijing" but it seems to be classes where you need to sign up. I couldn't really find info on the location of the facility they use for gymnastics.

Appreciate any help
