Located in Liverpool, England, this fluorescent project is a new edition to the local Everton Park initiated by [Liverpool Biennial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-carlo-liverpool). Working with local young people from the area, this new skatepark functions both as an interactive space for the community as well as a [public art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craig-karl2). The 'Koo Jeong A x Wheelscape Evertro' project was built through the artist's interpretation of the surrounding area, and actually uses a free-form construction process that consumes two thirds fewer concrete than a traditional casting mold. Of course, most striking is the glowing green bowl centerpiece painted in phosphorescent paint. The paint used is especially unique in that it actually uses a natural bioluminescent chemical found in common fireflies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Glow-in-the-dark Spaces:** Creating spaces that illuminate at night, offering unique and immersive experiences. - **Interactive Community Art:** Engaging communities through art installations that encourage participation and interaction. - **Sustainable Construction Methods:** Utilizing innovative construction processes that require fewer resources and reduce environmental impact. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Entertainment:** Exploring new ways of merging art and entertainment to create memorable experiences for audiences. - **Skateboarding and Extreme Sports:** Developing skateboarding facilities and products that incorporate creative design elements and enhance the overall experience. - **Construction and Architecture:** Incorporating sustainable construction practices and materials into architectural projects, reducing ecological footprints. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Rooftop Skateparks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qingdao-mixc-rooftop-skatepark.md) - [Eye-Catching Basketball Parks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basketball-park.md) - [Skateable Pyramid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playlab.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Sushi Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-sushi-bar.md) - [Dynamic Public Artwork Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/born-to-be-wild-1.md) - [Futuristic Glowing Playgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joya-1.md) - [Colorful Municipal Recreational Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrant-sports-park.md) - [Dynamic Skateable Architecture Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-west-end.md) - [Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence.md)
