Amager Bakke, also called CopenHill, is a waste-to-energy plant with a recreational roof. Bjarke Ingels Group designed the sports facility for Amager Resource Center. The infobox gives a 2013 start and a March 30, 2017 commissioning. The text gives the recreation opening as December 2018 in one passage and October 4 to 6, 2019 in another.

The recreational structure is 279 feet (85 m) tall with a sloped roof, and the climbing wall by Walltopia is 262 feet (80 m). The plant has a 57 MW nameplate capacity and is expected to burn about 400,000 tons of waste a year. The article names no facade materials.

It partly replaced the nearby Amager incineration plant, converted from coal to biomass by 2020. The project was named World Building of the Year 2021. Annual attendance is estimated at 42,000 to 57,000. The article gives no hours.
