This whole “world’s largest” thing seems to be getting a little out of control. Now, an Australian developer named Brad Shaw is reportedly building a skatepark in Guangzhou, China that will be the largest in the world, according to a story in the Sydney Morning Herald.

The 17,000 square metro park – about as big as four football fields – is being built on the grounds of a conglomerate of universities, the Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Centre, in the extreme sports area. . . It’s likely demand for the park’s facilities – which are free to use – will be high. The mega centre is home to 10 universities, more than 160,000 students and 20,000 staff, many of which are in walking distance of the facility.

Shaw’s company is called Sk8scapes, and from the looks of the parks he’s built in the past, this new one is a seriously ambitious leap. But hey, why not go big in China? They are manufacturing the entire world.
