Pleasanton Skatepark is complete with Texan accents, the park is open and ready to ride.
The City Owosso, MI contacted us to see what could be done with their budget of +/- $100,000. After working together and including in-kind donations we were able to provide them with this 3,000 sq. ft. custom concrete Skatepark.
Construction is complete and the park is open. The City will be planting grass soon.
Since the moment the park was open it has been full of Skaters. If you build it, they will come.
No matter the size and or budget, concrete is always possible. Congratulations Owosso!

The public is invited to attend the event which will be held at the project site on Flora Park Road, accessible from Wilbricht Lane on the north side of Flora Park. The event will include remarks from Dubuque Mayor Roy D. Buol; Parks and Recreation Commission Chairperson Jennifer Tigges, Laura Bies, a member of the KIDS Board of Directors; and Park Division Manager Stephen Fehsal.
You can find a fly-through of the design on our youtube channel.
The project includes a concrete skate park with security lighting, drinking fountain, ADA parking space, storm water management features, and fiber optic connectivity and security cameras.
The approximately $850,000 project is being funded by $600,000 in City of Dubuque funds and more than $250,000 in private donations collected by the KIDS in Dubuque Skate Organization. Construction is scheduled to be completed by December 2018.
Imperial Skatepark has been opened for less than a month and has already been coined the most popular recreational facility of the City. Lead by a dedicated group of 10 to 12 year olds, Team Hot Wheels, the Imperial Skatepark is a great example of what can be accomplished with a little hard work and determination. After a few false starts and being told they could not afford concrete Imperial - Nebraska is now home to a 5,000 sq. ft. custom Skatepark.
We want to give a big shout out to Artisan Skateparks, our build partner on this project. The crew were not only professional and respectful but truly became a part of the local community. They went above and beyond during construction, mentoring the young skaters, explaining the construction process and giving them the opportunity to help with construction. The Skatepark is located in Campbell Park on on West 6th St. in Imperial, Nebraska.

Salisbury Skatepark has received their second round of funding through DNR and the City wasted no time moving forward with Phase II. Designed in Phases, the masterplan divided the park into three manageable sections that allowed for fundraising efforts to continue while users and local residents could enjoy a finished product.
Phase I included an 8' deep bowl with pool coping and tile, as well as a back and fourth street section. During Phase I our design team also handled all necessary stormwater management and overall cost estimating. Streamlining the design process and allowing Phase II and III to be about design aspects of the park.
Phase II will be an additional 4,500 sq. ft. The original masterplan, shows Phase II as mostly street - complimenting Phase I of the Skatepark but of course the final design will take into account the local Skaters request. A public meeting to discuss Phase II design elements is set for January 18th from 5:30PM to 7:30PM at the City Center Building - Atrium Area on Main Street. We encourage local skaters to attend the meeting and give their input on the design.
Phase I was completed and opened December 2015. Phase II set to be completed this summer. Phase 3 will follow, to complete the Skatepark Masterplan layout.
Skatepark hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to dusk.

#1 – Skateboarding is the 3rd most popular recreational activity for kids between 6 to 18 years of age. While team sports participation has consistently declined, skateboarding has millions of participants. Yet, most communities do not have a dedicated space for Skateboarders.
#2 – Skateboarding is a healthy, physical activity that anyone can enjoy. Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years in the U.S, with more than one third of children and adolescents being overweight or obese.
#3 - Skateparks provide a safe and legal place for Skateboarders to practice their sport. Statistics show that the majority of deadly skateboarding accidents involve a motor vehicle. Offering diverse terrain and a quality Skatepark means less Skateboarders on your streets, at your local businesses, parking lots and sidewalks.
#4 – Skateparks can provide great revenue opportunities for their communities. A destination style Skatepark attracts skaters from all over the United States, which in turns means increase in lodging, shopping, meals as well as other local recreational activities. Remember typically, it’s not just the skater coming to the area but an entire family. Depending on the Skatepark design and size, there is also opportunity to hold events, competitions, etc. drawing even bigger crowds.
#5 – Skateparks bring communities together. They are a social gathering place offering its users the opportunity to meet with other community members with similar interests. We often see entire families at the Skatepark, some users and some just enjoying the show. It is common for young skateboarders to volunteer for Skatepark cleanup and take ownership of the space.
If your City does not have a Skatepark than we can promise you it is the Skatepark.
