A neighborhood-style park that has it all, Howard County’s 12,000 square foot skatepark was an integral part of a revitalization project for the North Laurel Community Center. Collaborating with local landscape architects, Mahan Rykiel, our design process combined public design workshops and social media interfaces for a robust dialogue with the local skateboarding community.
Our final design speaks to a diverse set of stakeholders, including up-and-coming street skaters, seasoned bowl shredders and community members who can appreciate the park’s sculptural and aesthetic quality. This unique venue features a fun 4-6’ bowl, an array of ledge combinations and three large skateable boulders! It’s no surprise then, that locals often refer to it as the best park in the greater DC area.
