ANTHEM ACTION SPORTS COMPLEX

Anthem is now home to a new all wheel friendly action park!

The new complex includes:
* Newly Renovated Skatepark - The old park was 16 years old. A few changes were made (new elements added/some old elements removed) to provide a better overall flow to the Skatepark. We also fixed cracks, resealed concrete and repainted all steel.

* Competition Olympic Style Street Course - By using an unused roller hockey rink, we were able to provide cost saving benefits.

* Pump Park - The new pump park, is our take on a traditional pumptrack but this style is more universal - for all wheels, instead of focusing solely on one user type. It is also built out of concrete instead of the traditional asphalt, providing lower maintenance and a longer life span.

We couldn't be happier with the outcome. This new facility is a perfect fit to the Anthem community and could not have come at a better time. The Olympics have really shed a light onto existing Skatepark conditions and the need for upgrades, renovations and quality Skateparks for future olympians to train at.

The Anthem Action Sports Complex is a family facility, having everything a community needs in one location. The parks includes: shade structures, water fountains, spectator seating and landscaping. This will surely be a destination park that will draw people from not only Arizona but all over the US and the World.

SKATEPARK CONSTRUCTION

Quincy Skatepark is complete! The City of Quincy had an existing pre-fab park that needed to be updated. The new design offers more skate elements, while utilizing open space and creating a diverse park. Providing something unlike any other Skatepark in the greater Boston area.

“Not only is the Quincy Skatepark a major upgrade from the prior skatepark, but we believe it will also provide inspiration to surrounding communities who are toying with the idea of building a skatepark to jump on the bandwagon. 

Thank you Pillar Skateparks and Artisan Skateparks for delivering such a beautiful park that will benefit generations to come.”

— Jeff Burke - Lead Skatepark Advocate

Quincy Skatepark is located in Quincy, MA.

Construction has been APPROVED! The Hart Family Memorial Skatepark, the first concrete skatepark in the Lakes Region, is officially coming to Meredith, New Hampshire this summer. Four years ago Brendan Hart began campaigning to rebuild the Skatepark, which was a beloved facility that was built in the memory of his late father. After the sudden passing of his mom who was also the skatepark’s biggest advocate, this special recreational space will be named the Hart Family Memorial Skatepark.

We are honored to be apart of this exceptional project and supportive community.

SKATEPARK GRAND OPENING

New concrete has arrived in Iowa! Le Mars Skatepark has officially opened. 

The grand opening was just last week and proved to be a record turn out at O'Toole Park. Several hundred people gathered to witness extreme sports at the Le Mars Skatepark. The free event brought professional skateboards from out of state and even Europe to demonstrate their skills, as well as a BMX team from Nebraska. Solidifying Le Mars is becoming a destination City.

“When I look at how many children, teens and adults are in and around the park since its completion, it is very clear that a ‘quality of life’ goal was definitely reached. The foundation hopes for similar results for all the projects we support.”  ”

— Mike Donlin, Le Mars Area Betterment Foundation President, - Quoted by LeMars Daily Sentinel (Kim Fickett, 2019), Skate Park is the newest attraction striving to help Le Mars reach destination status. 

Showing homage to the Ice Cream Capital of the world, the design includes a halfpipe mimicking an ice cream scoop, which has been lovingly labeled as "the spoon" by the locals.
