While this celebration marked the official opening, skateboarders from throughout Maryland & Virginia had already <br />been flocking to District Heights for months for a firsthand taste of the fast lines and innovative terrain. <br />The County utilized a streamlined design/build approach with Spohn Ranch acting as both prime architect and general contractor. After a design process <br />that blended the site’s dramatic topography with flowing curves and modern street elements, we executed the full spectrum of construction – from <br />bioretention and ADA pathways to shotcrete and steel fabrication. Colored concrete, shade sails and artistic spectator seating add to the modern aesthetic. <br />
