The Tinnell Memorial Sports Park is Arizona’s largest skate park at 40,000 square feet. The sports park is dedicated to the sacrifice made by fallen soldier and bmx rider Patrick Tinnell, along with Colin Sasseen who lost his life skating in his front yard. In honor of Patrick we built a custom cradle in the shape of his army helmet and for Colin we did a large stained concrete “C” at the bottom of the stair set. The street course design is inspired by Street League Skateboarding’s “skate plaza-style” course skated by professional skateboarders at the 2013 X Games at Foz Do Iguacu, Brazil. The upper deck of the park has a backyard bowl, a competition flow course and wall ride around a palm tree. The course also features a skate-able pathway with a kicker gap. Shade structures were also incorporated for spectators and skaters to catch a break from the Arizona sun. This skate oasis has something for every level of skater, not to mention one of the most beautiful views of any skate park in the world!
This exciting new Skate Plaza, located at Hazard Park in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, has been made possible by Diamond Supply Co., the Street League Foundation and the California Endowment.

Public Skate Plaza at Hazard Park came to life after the Street League Foundation approached The California Endowment last year about working together to create healthy and sustainable communities by constructing safe, legal and accessible places for everyone to skate. Through a grant from The California Endowment, the Street League Skateboarding Foundation donated $160,000 to the construction of a brand new skate plaza at Hazard Park, but needed to find a matching grant in order to effectuate the initial $160,000 donation. Nick Diamond, founder of Diamond Supply Co., generously donated the remaining balance for the completion of what will now be known as the Diamond Supply Co. Public Skate Plaza.

This skatepark we easily one of our most uniquely challenging projects to date, for a variety of reasons. The site for the park is situated in a long, skinny, open-air atrium space nestled in the middle of The Lionshead Parking Structure. The space is only 25 feet wide, but more than 230’ long, and in addition to the tight space, there are massive parking garage footings to avoid, a steep grade change running the entire length of the site, and even and open airflow stipulation limiting the amount additional vertical surface area obstructions all the way down to the percentage of air blocked by the mesh fencing that surrounds the park and prevents boards from flying into the parking areas. But, as is often the case, constraints can lead to opportunities and inspire new solutions. The Vail Skatepark takes advantage of every opportunity by moving up, down, and around existing footings and walls, creating unique skate elements within the park. Those features, along with all the other elements in the park came as a result of a collaboration with the local skateboard community. The Town of Vail also commissioned an artist to collaborate on the project that is going to do four different art installation pieces. The park also feature lights for night skating.
