THOMPSON PARK SKATEPARK

City: The Dalles, Oregon

Size: 7,500 sq. ft.

Year Built: 2011

Role: Skatepark Designer and Builder

 

In summer of 2010, Spohn Ranch was selected as the highest-ranking respondent to a request for proposals for the design/build of a state-of-the-art skatepark in The Dalles, Oregon. Today, we proudly present our final design for the new concrete skatepark to be located at Thompson Park.

After engaging in a thoughtful and collaborative design process with an integrated team of engineers, landscape architects and skatepark advocates, we emerged with a unique vision tailored towards the needs of The Dalles’ skateboarding community. Overcoming unique site constraints with sustainable design methods, we integrated the skatepark within a designated footprint, as well with a master plan that is planned for the overall park.

Sure to become a recognizable icon of modern skatepark architecture, the final design features a wide diversity of terrain aimed at all styles and skill levels. With colored concrete and basalt rock incorporated into the heart of the skateable terrain, this park will remain a vibrant community space for generations to come.

Spohn Ranch Skateparks: Design. Build. Come together.

NEW WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Spohn Ranch began as a community, anchored by Aaron’s backyard half-pipe, and grew into a renowned nationwide skatepark design/build firm. The creative culture of Aaron’s backyard gave birth to many companies, careers and artistic creations, including Spohn Ranch’s original “S” logo and red, white and blue color scheme. It’s treated us well over the past twenty years - becoming an iconic symbol of skatepark innovation and ingenuity.

We are always evolving though, and after 20 years of successful business, we felt it was finally time that the graphic look and feel of our brand evolve as well. Over the past several months, our team has been working hard to find new ways to express our company spirit and values, culminating in a new and improved Spohn Ranch brand.

We’re eager to unveil our new look, but one of the most involved parts of the rebranding effort – the website – is still a few months from completion. In the meantime, we hope you’ll stay connected as we embark on an exciting journey in 2013.

It will be a big year for us as we continue to push the limits of skatepark design and construction with sculptural masterpieces across the globe. The first phases of our biggest project ever, over 400,000 square feet of design/build will also be coming to fruition in the mountains of West Virginia this year.

What we’re most excited about though, is that our skateparks will continue to help us achieve our grander vision - tearing down walls, forging communities and bringing people together.
