What We Do
Who We Are
We create places for human-powered wheels where people move, play, and connect.
Our team specializes in skateparks, bike parks, pump tracks, and trail systems—recreation spaces that call for a level of precision most park projects never require. For over twenty-five years, we’ve partnered with municipalities, consultants, and landscape architects to bring these environments to life.
Our role is simple: to be the visionary and technical partner who makes sure the specialized pieces of a park are every bit as durable and inspiring as the vision that surrounds them.
Our Perspective on Public Space
Parks do more than fill land with amenities—they shape how communities come together. A well-placed pump track draws families, teens, and grandparents to the same loop of asphalt. A thoughtfully designed skatepark gives kids ownership in their city. A mountain-bike trail system can shift a local economy.
We approach each project knowing the drawings on paper eventually become a lived-in, high-impact space. That’s why our designs marry creativity with rigor. Geometry, flow, compaction, and finish work matter as much as location and planting. The outcome: spaces that don’t just look good on opening day, but stay vibrant for decades.
What We Bring to the Table
Specialized Design-Build: Our in-house team carries projects from early concept through final ribbon-cutting.
Technical Craftsmanship: From concrete precision in skate features to the sine-wave math behind a pump track, we work at tolerances that ensure performance and safety.
Scalable Delivery: We’ve built neighborhood-scale amenities and regional destinations spanning dozens of acres.
Seamless Integration: We understand circulation, grading, and ecological constraints, so our work fits naturally into the larger site plan.
Municipal Experience: We know the realities of public procurement, prevailing wage, budgets, and community process.
Collaboration with Landscape Architects
We’re at our best when we collaborate. Landscape architects are the storytellers and master planners of public space; we’re the detail-oriented builders who make sure specialized recreation features deliver on that vision.
Bringing us in early means:
Budgets stay realistic.
Community input is translated into safe, functional design.
The technical side of recreation is handled by people who live and breathe it.
You keep your bandwidth for the broader site narrative, confident the specialty components will match your intent.
Why It Matters
Cities and counties don’t just invest in ramps, rollers, or trails. They invest in healthier residents, new tourism dollars, equitable access to recreation, and park systems that stand the test of time.
That’s the measure of success we share with landscape architects: not just a finished project, but a place that works—for the people, for the site, and for the community long into the future.
An Open Invitation
We’re collaborators first. If your next master plan includes skate or bike infrastructure, bring us to the table. Together we can create parks that move people—not just across the landscape, but closer to each other.
