The Suwannee County Skatepark in Live Oak, Florida is a pre-cast concrete skatepark designed and built by Spohn Ranch.  Due to the site’s size limitations, we consider this skatepark to be more of a “skate spot”.  Skate spots are smaller in size than full fledged skateparks and offer skaters less diversity in style of terrain, but remain an important part of a community’s overall skatepark system.  When space and money are limited, skate spots serve as the perfect solution for skaters who have nowhere nearby to safely practice their sport.  Even with a small budget, skatespots like these can provide endless entertainment for skaters.  This particular skatespot offers replicas of the kinds of stairs and hubba ledges skaters find in their local community.  It also offers a banked Barcelona Wall, a slanted manual pad, a euro gap, a fun box rail, and a few quarter-pipes for skaters who prefer the feeling of riding transition.

The Reed Park Skatepark in West Chicago, Illinois is a pre-cast concrete park designed and built by Spohn Ranch.  The City of West Chicago approached us because the skaters were complaining about the dilapidated and uninspiring metal ramp park they had built a few years prior.  Once a new design for a flowing concrete skatepark was finalized, we quickly used our innovative pre-cast Spohncrete system to transform an aging ramp park into a timeless park that the skaters loved.  The park features a horseshoe bowl which flows into the street section of the park, where skaters can hit the stairs or grind down the hubba ledges and handrails.  Once the final landscaping surrounding the park was completed, this skatepark fit beautifully with the rest of Reed Park.

Similar to Spohn Ranch’s Suwannee County Skatepark in Live Oak, Florida, the Dalles Skatepark is considered to be more of a “Skate Spot” than a full-fledged skatepark.  Despite its small size and limited budget, this skate spot is a great use of a small amount of public space.  By packing a little bit of everything into this spot, we were able to create a much needed place in St. Croix for skaters to develop their skills.  The park, which features transitions, stairs, a manual pad, a euro gap, a hubba ledge, and a rail, was built using our pre-cast Spohncrete system.  With a high-quality finish and a 15-year warranty on all Spohncrete pieces, this park is sure to provide the skaters of St. Croix with endless hours of entertainment.

When the City of Spartanburg, South Carolina decided to build a skatepark they knew they wanted to go all out and build a facility that their community could be really proud of.  This colossal concrete skatepark, dubbed the Hot Spot Skatepark, has quickly become the most used recreational facility in Spartanburg.  With something for everyone, this park perfectly balances street elements and transition features like the mini-ramp for maximum skateability.  By conducting design workshops with the local skaters, we were able to fine tune the final design and make sure the park was designed by skaters for skaters.  As opposed to some concrete ramps which feature metal transition plates at the bottom of the ramps, Spohn Ranch has a firm “No Kickplates” policy when it comes to our pre-cast concrete line.  This park was built by setting the pre-cast concrete pieces in place and then pouring concrete around them to create a seamless finish.  The skatepark has already been deemed such a huge success, that a Phase 2 is in the works to add on to the park.

Although relatively small in size, the Homestead Skatepark in Miami Dade, Florida is a great use of public space.  Positioned right next to a set of tennis courts, this concrete skatepark provides skaters with a wide variety of obstacles for exercising their sport.  The skatepark was constructed with the same cut-in technique used at Spohn Ranch’s Westwind Lakes Skatepark in Miami.  By integrating our precision-cast concrete pieces into the existing slab, we were able to spend less money on site work and direct more funding towards skate features within the park.  By building up, instead of tearing up the slab and digging down, we were also able to create the same kinds of elevations and stair sets found in a typical poured-in-place skatepark.  In addition to the stairs, hips, and ledges, this park also features a unique wallride that bridges the gap between two big banks.

The Westwind Lakes Skatepark in Miami Dade, Florida is an all concrete skatepark designed and built by Spohn Ranch.  Using a concrete cut-in approach, we were able to recycle the existing concrete slab and seamlessly integrate all of our pre-cast skate features.  Using this cut-in technique, instead of demolishing the slab and digging below the ground, was not only the “greenest” approach, it also allowed us to give the skaters of Miami Dade a world-class facility with a much shorter construction timeline.  Flowing lines, an abundance of ledges and unique obstacles, and plenty of open space make this a truly enjoyable park.  We really tried to recreate the way skaters naturally interact with their environment on the streets – by giving skaters room to push between obstacles and link their tricks in creative ways. For proof that flat slab concrete skateparks are a hit with skaters, drive by this park on any given day and you will find at least 50 skaters pursuing their passion.

The Liberty Lake Skatepark in Washington is an all concrete skatepark that came to fruition after local skaters and advocates worked hard to get a proper facility built in their town.  Even with a limited budget and a small site, we were still able to use our pre-cast Spohncrete system to create an amazing park with everything that skaters need to progress and have fun. Rather than cramming the slab full of obstacles, we opted to leave lots of open space for pushing and flat ground tricks.  Almost immediately after the park was finished, it became the site of demos by local skate shops, contests, and BBQs for skaters and their families.

After the Hollandia Skatepark project was selected as a recipient of the Tony Hawk Foundation’s Skatepark Grant, Spohn Ranch was chosen to design and build the new skatepark in San Marcos, California.  Co-designed with skateboarding advocates from the Tony Hawk Foundation, the Hollandia Skatepark is a hybrid style park combining the best of pre-fabricated ramp equipment and precision cast concrete.  Using a combination of ramps and concrete provides challenging terrain for skaters who are just beginning to learn the sport, as well those who are trying to perfect their craft.  The park features a nice U-shaped concrete bowl that feeds into the ramp section of the park, creating a circular flow perfect for connecting tricks.  For more advanced street skaters, the park also features a big set of 7 stairs with a handrail and hubba ledge.
