Grindline Skateparks, Inc. one of the top designers and builders of skateparks throughout the United States will design and build the skatepark. The Skatepark Committee spent months evaluating and interviewing skatepark designers and chose Grindline because of their reputation for excellence and the fact that they both design and build skateparks. Grindline employees are known to skate the park as it is being built, testing the flow of the park before it is too late to adjust the design and making sure the concrete is poured “just right.” Grindline has designed and built over 75 skateparks throughout the United States. More information about Grindline is available at www.grindline.com.

There are two phases to the skatepark development: design and construction. In the design phase, Grindline meets with the Skatepark Committee, the City and the public to plan the design of the park. Once the design is completed, Grindline prepares construction-ready plans. This design phase will cost approximately $32,000. Depending on the square footage of the park, it will cost between $600,000 and $750,000 to build. If community members are willing to donate services (i.e. architect review, grading, concrete, etc.) the price will go down. Since Crane Park is owned by the City, there is no cost to purchase the land.

Through individual donations and fundraising events by skateboarders, we have raised the funds needed to start the design process. The rest will be raised through individual and corporate donations, grants and fundraisers. We are also seeking in-kind donations to offset the cost of the project.
