Project Details
To Design was engaged by the Town of Newington to complete site redesign, construction documents, and construction administration for the renovation of the Clem Lemire Recreation Complex Skate Park. At the time of the original build, heavy concrete, modular features of the park were mounted on asphalt that eventually settled and cracked. Dangerous gaps appeared and were patched, but the process still didn’t allow for a safe, smooth ride.
Built by skate park designer and builder Jeff Paprocki, the new design features continuous concrete throughout the entire site. New quarter pipes, ramps, rails, and spines allow for improved flow, speed, and difficulty to benefit the skating experience. The purple ramp was retained from the original design as a memorial to honor local skateboarder Shayne Wrobel who passed away in 2010.
