At Provident Skate Park, the Zoom team designed and installed custom shade structures that not only enhance the park’s visual appeal but also provide crucial sun protection for skaters.

The Challenge

When designing shade structures for skate parks, several unique considerations and challenges must be addressed to ensure both safety and usability. To ensure safety and functionality, it was important to maintain an open area free from obstacles for skaters. Shade structures should be designed with an appropriate height to prevent skaters from reaching or pulling on them during jumps or flips. Additionally, elevation variances were identified on both sides of the skatepark, which should be considered in the overall design and installation plan.

Our Solution

The standard cantilever shade is great for shading areas that need open space. Because the columns are on one side of the shade, the cantilever offers an unobstructed view, making it ideal for the Skatepark. The elevation variances were addressed with the installation of bollards with different heights to maintain all cantilever structures at the same height.

Skaters in Action

Skaters are constantly in motion, performing dynamic tricks like flips, jumps, and grinds that require speed, space, and precision. In this skate park shade project, we not only addressed those needs by maintaining open areas and accounting for elevation changes, but also successfully provided shade structures designed at the right height—ensuring they offer relief from the sun without interfering with skaters in action.

I am thrilled to be a Project Manager at Zoom Recreation and work with a Team of highly driven, energetic individuals, in a corporate culture that promotes collaboration and creativity. I feel great satisfaction bringing customers’ vision to life by designing playgrounds that are safe and help children develop to their fullest potential (physically, emotionally, creatively). I feel great joy when I see children enjoying their new playground. I love the outdoors and enjoy practicing sports with my family: tennis, playing soccer, walking, hiking, swimming, snorkeling. I also enjoy cooking.
