Completed Installations
Skateable Art Path in South Jordan, Utah
In the summer of 2008, Spohn Ranch was proud to build one of the first and largest skateable art installations in the United States. With amazing pieces of skateable public sculpture artfully set along a winding pedestrian path, this park is a ground-breaking space that incorporates skaters into the community by recognizing their right to practice their sport. Spohn Ranch worked with local landscape architects from the concept phase to plan, design and build this innovative park using the SpohnCrete system of pre-cast concrete skate elements. Nestled in an assuming housing development, this unnamed park is home to over a dozen integrated skateable art pieces, such as the “Ribbon” which was inspired by Park City’s 2002 Olympic ribbon sculpture.

Skateable Art Benches for the Gatorade Free Flow Tour
In the summer of 2009, Gatorade had heard about our experience with artistic skate features and approached us about building benches for the Gatorade Free Flow Tour. The Free Flow Tour is a skateboarding and BMX amateur contest series that takes place at 30 skateparks across the country. Supplied with graphics from some incredible Gatorade artists we designed and fabricated “wave” benches made of galvanized steel and surfaced with Skatelite for each skatepark on the tour. After the tour ended, these benches were given as a gift to each skatepark, where they became permanent skateable art fixtures.
