Grindline Skateparks is a full-service design/build company, meaning we not only design but also construct the parks we create. Our preferred approach is to handle both design and construction, ensuring a seamless transition from vision to reality with the highest level of quality and precision. However, we are also happy to provide design-only or construction-only services when needed, depending on project requirements and municipal policy.
Example of a 3D conceptual rendering.
Our design process begins with input from the communities that will use the park. After gathering ideas and feedback, we translate that vision into a functional and inspiring design through a detailed, collaborative process.
First, our designer creates an initial 3D model in Rhino, shaping the park’s layout, flow, and features based on community input. This model serves as the foundation for the design, allowing us to refine key elements before moving forward.
Next, we bring the concept to life with high-quality Lumion renderings, adding realistic textures, lighting, and context. These renderings are used to create concept sheets, which we present to our clients for review. Through a back-and-forth exchange, we refine the design until we reach a final concept that meets everyone’s needs.
Once the design is approved, we develop detailed construction drawings in AutoCAD, ensuring precise execution during the build process. These plans guide every aspect of construction, from materials to structural integrity, transforming the vision into a world-class skatepark.
