Grand Opening- Feb 9, 2019 Thanks to everyone involved including the City of Jenks, Greg Helms Architecture, Ryan Crane from Native Skateparks who designed the park, Magnum Construction and especially the Jenks advocates for getting this project built!
Story Board Tile Band- Jenks, Oklahoma
If you are familiar with Hunger parks, you know that we frequently add mosaics into each build that either reflect the community, provide commentary on the park design, or to simply add a signature piece for the skatepark. Examples from past projects: Last summer when I was designing the Breslin Skate Spot mosaic, I started […]
Punk Track- Jenks, Oklahoma
Bart has been wanting to build a proper pump track for a long time. When the Jenks, OK council approved the skatepark with a pump track addition, he jumped on the opportunity to kick it up to a punk track rather than its bland brother the pump track. The skater/crew and Bart pushed the design […]
Jenks, Oklahoma Progress
Our biggest new build to date! Jenks is coming together great and we are loving the design by Ryan Crane and Native Skateparks. Bart and crew had a lot of design input in the pump track design- last pour of the pump track is complete today!
Back to Oklahoma!
We have started work on a 14,000 square foot park in Jenks, a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The entire footprint is being built up around 7 feet, making the skatepark closer to the elevations that surround the site. It’s an enormous amount of dirt work and site prep, but progress has been quick. Check out […]
Small Spot Development
Its a big vision, but we want to see small spots in every neighborhood park. They should be as common as a basketball court or a swing set. These last few weeks we have been playing around with some ideas for small spots, and then site specific ideas for a nearby city. It led to […]
Tahlequah Bowl Build Starts
The rehab of the Tahlequah Skatepark wrapped up last December, and now we are back to turn the nearby old public pool into a bowl. Check out these pics from our first weeks on the job.
Columbus, Indiana is getting a new skatepark designed by Janne Saario
Hunger Skateparks is working with the City of Columbus, Columbus Skatepark Advocates, and the designer Janne Saario to reimagine the Jolie Crider Memorial Skatepark. We remember when the current wood park was built around 1999, just before the Louisville Skatepark was built. It was the closest skatepark to Bloomington, and we made that trip many […]
Tahlequah Crew
It takes a special kind of beast to be a skatepark builder. Bart tends to work long hours and his daily and weekly goals might at times seem brutal and unreasonable. The weather has been incredible for the build, but we are all aware that winter is coming which increases the pace onsite. We are […]
First Weeks of Park Rehab in Tahlequah
On site in Tahlequah, Oklahoma for almost 2 week now, and all that needs to be demolished is removed and the new park is taking shape. Working within the city budget, the designers decided to keep most of the flat of the old park and put the budget into new features. But on our first […]
