The nature of this project required Grindline and it's team to research demographics as well as physical site conditions for each site, and determine which type of skatepark would be the most successful at each designated space. The City had preselected a skatepark committee which consisted of a local skateshop employees, several skateboard company owners, other skate industry personnel, as well as the Tony Hawk Foundation's Director, Miki Vukovich. Grindline and it's team worked closely with the committee and the city throughout conceptual design and construction document submittals.Two of the three parks have since been constructed and are receiving high praise from the skateboarding community. During the construction phase on the Bishop Skatepark a last minute challenge arose. Due to maintenance issues, the city had to change a centrally located mandated green space to standard flatwork. Grindline stepped forward and suggested making this area a centerpiece of the park and designed a "volcano" feature which brought the skate ability of the park to a new level.The "volcano" has since become the focal point of the park.
