Gentry, AR Pillar Design Studios Skate SpotIf you build a skatepark, skateboarders will come. Gentry, AR skate spot may only be 3,000 sq. ft. but you sure wouldn’t know it by the number of Skaters visiting. Skaters from Bella Vista, Bentonville, Siloam Springs and Springville Arkansas are coming to ride the Gentry Skate Spot.

Due to the vast and overwhelming success of the Skate spot Pillar Design Studios is pleased to announce a wave walk and two more quarter pipes have been added. The Gentry skateboarders have taken great pride in this skate spot skatepark and we hope to be able to add more in the future.

Remember no matter your size or budget, a concrete skatepark is an option. For more information on how you can get a concrete park in your area contact us via email.

Hiring A Skatepark Designer: Helpful Tips

November 18th, 2010 No comments

There are numerous companies that specialize in Skatepark Design Build. Before you make the decision on which company to hire it is imperative to do your research and find out which firm will fit your needs and desires.

How To Hire a Skatepark Designer

Your first step in this process is to consider what type of park is best for you, such as a Concrete Skatepark etc.  Once this is decided narrow your search for firms that handle that specific type of skatepark.

Now, how will the project be carried out, will this be a design only project or a design bid build project. This depends not only on the funding but also the entity or owner of the Park. The decision on which process to choose should be based on your needs and the funding that is available to the project.

Once you have decided on the type of skatepark and the process you would like to take, you can begin in depth research on the firms that handle the type and process you are looking for.

Here are a few key questions to ask when researching the Skatepark firms:

  • Are your skatepark designers also skateboarders?
  • What is their background and skatepark experience?
  • Who will be my Project Manager?
  • How many skatepark design build projects have they managed and will they be my main point of contact?
  • Are they a full service firm? (All services provided by in house staff)
  • What skatepark design services do they offer? Does the skatepark design firm provide a full set of construction documents? Sealed, stamped and will pass the city process.
  • Does the design firm carry Errors & Omission and General Liability insurance which is necessary to protect from design flaws.
  • Will our skatepark be a custom design or a recycled design?

Selecting a specialty skatepark firm with a spotless reputation will ensure delivery of a quality project on time and within budget.
