Mansfield Texas Skate Spot
Grand Opening on Saturday, August 12, 2017.
PROJECT DESIGN AWARD:
The City of Mansfield, including the Mansfield Texas Skate Spot, has been awarded the TRAPS Park Design Excellence Award for the Chandler Park Phase 2 project.
SKATEPARK PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Mansfield, Texas now has its first skate spot located within Clayton W Chandler Park. As part of the Chandler Park Phase 2 Project the skate spot provides a variety of technical, lower-level skate terrain within a relatively small footprint. The design makes the space feel as big as possible, with features spaced just far enough to get the right speed. SPA Skateparks was contracted as the design-build skatepark contractor for the project. Other new amenities in Phase 2 include a spray ground/splash pad, playground, basketball court, sand volleyball, walking train and pavilions, as well as improvements to the tennis courts.
SKATEPARK TERRAIN
The triangular skate spot surrounds a central pavilion providing plenty of shade for skaters, parents and visitors alike. The three corner features of the triangle are:
- 3.5 ft tall quarter pipe
- long bank-to-ledge
- escalating taco
Plaza type skate features allow just enough space to either push or use speed from the corner features listed above.
- ledges / benches
- flat rail
- double sided pole jam
