From planning and design through construction, there is turnkey skatepark solutions for all styles and type of parks – turning your skatepark dreams into reality.

PLANNING

Successful skateparks must balance the needs of three very different groups – the government, the community, and the users. Building a foundation of solid community support is absolutely critical to the project.

Skatepark planning is an intricate process that involves setting realistic goals and plotting workable courses of action to achieve them. Let us guide you through the entire process of skatepark planning, design, construction, and operation.

• Site Selection — We help you assess the suitability of potential locations.

• Budget — We work with you to establish a budget and to apportion it to fulfill as many of your project goals as possible.

• Safety — We recognize the importance of planning for a broad spectrum of users, from beginners to the advanced.

• Industry Standards — We are board member of the ASTM Committee that formulates standards for skateparks, striving to build safe parks while ensuring that creativity is not sacrificed in the process.

• Operation — We are intimately familiar with daily skatepark management and know what to expect after your park opens.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

We first set the standard as the designers of the X-Games vert ramps and street courses. Over the years, as we’ve provided competition courses for the best skateboarders in the world, we’ve incorporated their feedback into each new version of our skatepark equipment.

Each of our engineers and designers participates in one or more of the sports we serve. They understand skating techniques and the physics involved. This knowledge is the source of our constantly evolving line of superior products—from the faithful reproduction of traditional obstacles to the creation of unique new forms of skating terrain.

This expertise permits us to create ideal course geometry based on obstacle selection and user demographics. It’s easy to say layout is important, but it takes a depth of experience like ours to have mastered the complexities and subtleties of park configuration.

Design philosophy balances the practical needs of the Town, the preferences of skaters and strengths of the site to create an ideal, custom park for every client. While many designers see each project as another opportunity to advance their own design experiments or express their vision, we see ourselves as servants to the Town and skaters. Idea of success is to find out your vision and make it a reality.

Cost Control – One of the things we pride ourselves on is completing projects not only on time, but on budget, without change-orders. This is due to a careful planning process, which involves calculating all our costs and the peripheral costs before finalizing any design or cost estimates. With other designers, costs will increase during the construction process as unforeseen items are discovered, and the design is dumbed-down to stick to the original budget, or the budget for the initial design is increased with change-orders. Too many designers over-promise and under-deliver.

Accurately cost estimated over $16,000,000 in skatepark construction since 1992. In all these jobs. To insure that the site amenities and non-skatepark elements of the park are accurately budgeted, David Tripoli, an estimator with 10-years experience at ValleyCrest Landscaping, one of the nation’s largest contractors, will estimate costs at every phase of planning and design.
