We are often asked what is the difference between a Skate Spot and a Skate park, the answer is size. Below is a brief description of the different categories of Skateparks.

RESIDENTIAL

These Skateparks range from 1,500 to 4,000 sq. ft. and are catered to that particular client's needs.

Backyard Skate Spot
Skate-able Pools

SKATE DOT

This is the smallest skate-able space possible. A single structure that uses the existing site, incorporating into larger park infrastructures.

SKATE SPOT

These small parks (typical 500 - 4,500 sq. ft. ) offer the ease of design and engineering while providing an area for local users to practice.

Commonly used in conjunction with a larger skate-park, to better serve the local users
Designed to be site specific
Incorporation of local skate-able elements
Use of local materials
Quality over quantity
Limited funding solutions

Skate spots offer a refined and creative approach to small skateparks that appeal to both skateboarders and non-skateboards alike.

NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS

Smaller sites (5,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. - equivalent of a set of tennis courts) distributed around the city to provide recreational opportunities for beginners and intermediate skill level users in the neighborhoods.

COMMUNITY PARKS

Large sites (10,000 - 20,000 sq. ft. ) which will accommodate all skill levels and more users at any given time. These sites would provide more amenities (restrooms, on-site parking, spectator areas, etc.), as they will serve more as a destination than the neighborhood park.

REGIONAL PARKS

A single large facility (20,000 sq. ft.) that will accommodate many users at once, it could be lighted and possibly serve as a venue for competitions. Regional Parks should be centrally located and will become destination points for skaters and BMX riders throughout the nation.
