THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE

Grindline Skateparks is built on two core ideologies: an unwavering passion for skateboarding and a commitment to progression. Every one of our concrete craftsmen shares this devotion, dedicating their expertise to constructing world-class skateparks. Since 2002, we have been at the forefront of skatepark construction, shaping millions of tons of concrete into premier skate terrain across the United States and beyond. From professional training facilities to cutting-edge street courses, bowl complexes, snake runs, pump tracks, and skateable sculptures, we continue to push the boundaries of excellence, leading the industry we helped create.

Professional Training & Certification

Grindline prioritizes professional training to uphold the highest industry standards. Our Shotcreters undergo rigorous certification through the American Concrete Institute (ACI), which includes a written exam covering concrete science and best practices, a physical shotcrete application test, and an interview-based examination. This training includes an in-depth study of the chemical composition, molecular structure of ingredients and additives, and the alchemical process of creating durable, high-performance concrete.

Sustainability

Grindline is dedicated to minimizing the environmental impact of concrete skateparks through responsible building practices. We employ sustainable construction techniques by utilizing recycled concrete for sub-base materials, incorporating fly-ash in concrete and shotcrete mixes, implementing on-site stormwater management systems, and recycling construction materials such as formwork and site spoils. These measures help reduce waste, lower emissions, and create long-lasting, environmentally conscious skateparks.

 

Expertise

Grindline is fully equipped to handle projects of any size or scope. Our experienced crews specialize in high-quality shotcrete application, complex formwork and reinforcement, precision finishing for durable, skater-approved surfaces, and efficient project management to meet deadlines and specifications. Our focus on construction excellence ensures every skatepark we build meets the highest standards of durability and performance.

 

Commitment

Every skatepark we build is a testament to our passion for skateboarding and our dedication to our craft. Whether constructing the largest skatepark in North America or a single skateable obstacle, we strive to create innovative and inclusive spaces that inspire skaters of all levels. Our mission is to keep people on board for as long as possible—pushing the limits of what’s possible in skatepark construction and fostering our lifelong love for skateboarding.
