<br />Long Beach’s first true skate plaza - more than just another place to ride, we wanted to create an engaging public space that would resemble an urban <br />streetscape and give local skaters a sense of place and community. Despite a tight footprint nestled in between two streets, an apartment complex and a <br />parking lot, we packed the park with recreations of famous Long Beach street spots, integrated landscaping and several cobblestone gaps. <br />By far the most compelling aspect of the design though, is the skateable “LBC” letters that rise up out of the park. With a sculptural quality not found in any <br />other skatepark, these letters singlehandedly elevate this skatepark to iconic proportions. Empowering the local skaters with the knowledge and pride that <br />their community is special, these letters have further united Long Beach’s skaters and cemented the City’s place in skateboarding history. <br />SPOHN RANCH <br />PROJECT PORTFOLIO L <br />O <br />N <br />G <br /> <br />B <br />E <br />A <br />C <br />H <br />, <br /> <br />C <br />A <br />L <br />I <br />F <br />O <br />R <br />N <br />I <br />A <br /> <br />E <br />R <br />N <br />E <br />S <br />T <br /> <br />M <br />C <br />B <br />R <br />I <br />D <br />E <br /> <br />S <br />K <br />A <br />T <br />E <br />P <br />A <br />R <br />K <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />, <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br /> <br />S <br />Q <br /> <br />F <br />T <br /> <br />– <br /> <br />D <br />E <br />S <br />I <br />G <br />N <br />/ <br />B <br />U <br />I <br />L <br />D <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
