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.

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.” ”
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.

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.
