Skatepark Design Services
Designing a Skatepark is a complicated task
A skatepark design goes far beyond the ramps. Not only
does it have to reflect the skaters, their abilities and their hard
work but it must also be affordable and work well for the chosen location
of the Skatepark. Often, this is a very difficult compromise. On the
one hand, the kids want a Skatepark… period. On the other hand,
it has to be designed within the budget set forth by the City and the
best use of the site. A great Skatepark isn’t necessarily
the most expensive but rather one that combines the best of all worlds.
Whether you’re designing a starter park for an
existing tennis court or pouring a 20,000 square foot Skate Plaza, one
thing remains the same; A Skatepark needs an experienced designer. Small
or large, wood, steel or concrete, temporary or permanent, the skaters
of your City or Town deserve the best that they can have.
Not only has Who Skates recently celebrated 20 years
designing and building Skateparks, Who Skates also brings to the table
over 25 years of Commercial and Residential site work and construction
experience including owning and operating our own Excavation and Site
Work company. Experience that helps us keep your project on budget and
on schedule the first time. Over 50% of skateparks designed in the United
States go “back to the drawing board” due to unforeseen
site requirements, construction estimates that come in over budget and
Neighborhood groups who come out to voice their opposition to the project
in the 11th hour. In nearly EVERY case, the information was available
to the designer but was overlooked or disregarded completely. We’ve
designed Parks on reclaimed landfills, schoolyards, stump dumps, abandoned
mill sites, tennis and basketball courts, and even on solid rock. Proper
planning pays off.
At Who Skates, we consider every Skatepark to be
an opportunity. Let us bring our experience and enthusiasm to work for
you.
