Best Skatepark Builders & Designers In The USA
Spohn Ranch Skateparks
Spohn Ranch Skateparks was started by Aaron Spohn thirty years ago after he built a halfpipe in his own backyard. This skatepark design and building company consists of highly skilled craftsmen including landscape designers, iron workers, grading wizards and ACI-certified shotcrete nozzlemen who have now built skateparks in over forty U.S. states!
These skatepark builders pride themselves on dedication to detail and architectural finesse and this shows in the skateparks they are building. Their skatepark designs are state of the art and I personally feel they are partly responsible for the progression of skateboarding over the last few years.
From perfect street plazas to bad ass bowls, Spohn Ranch are doing it right. Check out some of their skateparks such as Clarkdale Skatepark, Castaic Skatepark, Copper Sky Skatepark, Cooper Skatepark, Page Skatepark, and Lehi Skatepark.

Their skateparks are progressive and modern in design, and are built to perfection no matter if it’s a street plaza or bowl. Here are some of the skateparks they have designed and built: Tinnel Memorial Skatepark, Stoner Skate Plaza, Lake Cunningham and Maloof Skatepark.

The owner of this skatepark design and building company (Mark Scott) is a skate rat through and through offering his time and donating materials to the Burnside Skatepark build since back in 1990. Mark is in the trenches with his crew on every skatepark they build which says a lot.

Evergreen Skateparks won the 2017 award for Most Innovative Concrete Project in the State of Michigan, and for ‘Thunder Park’ on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning, Montana.
Evergreen’s mission is to build innovative skateparks for skateboarders of all abilities and I believe they are succeeding with their mission. Take a look at some of their awesome skateparks which include Coeur d’Alene Skatepark, Milliken Skatepark and Cashmere Skatepark.

Spohn ranch’s designs are the absolute worst in the country, and they seriously don’t care about the communities that they are working with. they are leeches sucking the industry dry void of creativity and progressiveness. I can’t say enough terrible things about them.
