Built by Grindline
A bowl shaped like a fossil flower in Republic, a stainless-steel island map on Lopez, a Danish dome you can ride. Twelve Grindline skateparks worth the drive, every one on the map.
Republic, Washington sits next to the Stonerose fossil site, and the flower that keeps coming out of that rock is called Florissantia. When the Grindline crew designed and poured Republic Park in 2024, they shaped the signature bowl like a Florissantia blossom. Design-build, so the people who drew the flower are the people who finished it. That's the kind of detail a builder only reaches for after enough parks to stop pouring anything generic, and Grindline has been pouring since at least 2002. Every Grindline park on RampMap now carries a Built by line on its page, so this is the first of a series: one builder at a time, the parks worth seeking out, the crew's own photos. Grindline goes first.
Nothing here is a session report. The dates, the builders and the features are what the crew has put on record, and every park below is on the map so you can check the pin before you drive.
The ones nobody else has
Head to the San Juans and Lopez Island Skatepark, in Lopez Village, Washington, has a feature no other park can copy: a stainless-steel map of Lopez Island set into the concrete, and you can skate it. You're riding the shape of the island you're standing on.
Lāna'i Skatepark, in Lanai City, Hawaii, is a two-crew job. California Skateparks drew it and Grindline poured it, and by the end of April 2025 the crew called it ready to ride.
Then there's the photo up top. StreetDome, in Haderslev, Denmark, is a Grindline build, with CEBRA Architecture and Rune Glifberg named in the crew's own opening post. Bowls, hips, banks and open transition run into each other and then right up to the dome building itself. It's a skatepark wrapped around a building, with light poles ringing the whole thing, and it reads like nothing else on the map.
Two decades in the Northwest
The resume goes back further than any of that. Tanner Creek Park, in West Linn, Oregon, is a Grindline park from 2002, and the drone shot of it still fills up with riders. Arlington Skatepark, in Arlington, Washington, followed in 2005, the same year the crew built a feature at Brothers Skatepark, in Mammoth Lakes, California. Both Northwest parks are still going, still on the map, still worth the detour.
Twenty years on, the crew is still pouring in small Washington towns. Black Diamond got a full Grindline design-build in 2025, opened it in July, and gave it a new name: KJ Gardner Skatepark. Omak Skatepark, in Omak, Washington, opened its rebuild at Eastside Park on June 29, 2024: a compact street section of rails, ledges, banks and small sculpted obstacles that runs straight into connected transition and bowl terrain, all of it under mature trees next to the basketball courts. And Cle Elum, in Cle Elum, Washington, finished its second phase in February 2025, in the frost.
Still pouring
The map keeps growing outside Washington too. Taku Lake Skate Park, in Anchorage, Alaska, is a 2024 Grindline design-build, the crew's own words for it. And Ephraim Skatepark, in Ephraim, Utah, got the bowl it had been waiting on: phase two, finished and ready to ride as of August 4, 2025.
Every park here is on RampMap with a Built by Grindline Skateparks line on its page, and every photo is Grindline's own, used with their permission and credited back to them. Go find one, and bring the crew's name up when you get there; a park doesn't pour itself. If you know a Grindline park that's missing, add it and it gets the same treatment. Spohn Ranch, Dreamland and New Line are up next.
