New park will attract old cliches

The NBC affiliate 9 News in Denver recently aired a piece on the impending opening of the new Arvada skatepark. The emphasis of the spot, apparently shot on the set of Masterpiece Theater (see photo), is on the “construction workers” that built the park, a crew that would go entirely unnamed were it not for […]

Arvada, Colorado already in progress

It’s been nine months since I posted the preliminary plans for this regional park in Arvada, Colorado and now we’ve got some snake run construction photos courtesy of Team Pain.

Northglenn, Colorado skatepark

Another Team Pain project in Colorado. They might as well move there, they pretty much own that state as far as skateparks go. This one is in Northglenn.

Dalles Progress

Vince from Spohn Ranch sent in some pics of the new skatepark in the Dalles in progress.

Spohn breaks ground in the Dalles, Or

Spohn Ranch has begun building a new skatepark in the Dalles, OR. It’s a small 7,500 square foot street spot type park that will be 100% poured in place concrete. I don’t know how this one got past all the Northwest companies, but you know what they say about spilt milk. Catch some renders of […]

Broomfield Colorado

Tito over at Team Pain sent in some pics from a recent lunchtime session at the Broomfield, Colorado skatepark, which is currently under construction. It appears to be almost done actually, but maybe we’re not seeing the whole park. All the sunshine in those pictures, it’s like a foreign country compared to Oregon so far […]

Lincoln City phase 5

Danimal sent in cell phone reconnaissance of new construction in Lincoln City, Oregon. The last addition was the amazing monster snake run. I’m not sure what the master vision is here. (More concrete – Duh!) It almost looks like a motocross track. Looks like another bowl too. They’re going to run out of square feet […]

Gold Beach Oregon Skatepark

Gold Beach Oregon skatepark open

Gold Beach, Oregon has a new skatepark built by Wedderburn, Oregon based Liquid Stone Designs which is owned by Lori Linville and in effect, some of the same people who brought you the Coos Bay skatepark. Looks super cool, especially for a town of 1,822 people. Perfect spot for a GVK episode. I’m sure he’ll […]
