<br /> <br /> <br />“This letter is an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for the phenomenal experience we had <br />working with Spohn Ranch. Through the entire process Spohn Ranch was committed to helping us reach our <br />desired outcome and that was clear through the entire year of collaboration. As we conceptualized, designed <br />and built the skate park. Due to our lack of knowledge we needed a lot of guidance and assistance and Spohn <br />Ranch provided that during each step. Perhaps most noteworthy and helpful was the way the team is <br />designed. Each phase afforded us the opportunity to work with a different senior staff on the Spohn Ranch <br />team; consistently what was demonstrated was a passion for skating, a desire to work collaboratively and true <br />commitment to the project. <br />Spohn Ranch demonstrated again and again their willingness to work with multiple players, follow agency <br />protocol and make this BIG project run smoothly. This was a large endeavor for our agency both in terms of a <br />paradigm shift in embracing a new and different ways of programming for our children, and in terms of the <br />financial commitment. I can say wholeheartedly we are overwhelming pleased with the results and would <br />recommend Spohn Ranch with no reservations.” <br />- Angela Chambers, Vice President of Educational Services <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />“I want to extend my sincere thanks to the dedicated Spohn Ranchers who went above and beyond in their <br />role as designers and builders of our new skatepark at Woodside Park. <br />We presented you with a real challenge – a site that had unique constraints on all four sides. Even with a <br />retaining wall on one end, a specimen tree at the opposite end, and a gym wall and basketball court on the <br />respective sides – your design department emerged with the perfect solution. The sculptural nature of the <br />elements combined with the aesthetic appeal of the colored concrete, made the skatepark seamlessly <br />integrate with the rest of the park. As I mentioned previously, I intend to submit this project for a design <br />award. The project is an excellent example of a reuse project in an urban environment. <br />Exceeding our expectations at every step of the way, the passion and professionalism of Spohn Ranch was <br />vital in the enduring success of our skate spot. Your crew came exactly on time (something like 4 am in the <br />morning and they were still on California time!) and worked seamlessly with our Central Maintenance masonry <br />staff in an incredible collaboration. <br />Going beyond the role of designer and builder, I also appreciated the follow up after the project was <br />completed. When dealing with fencing issues and conflicts between basketball players and skateboarders, we <br />were blessed with incredible insight and guidance that only a well-rounded firm like yours could provide. <br />Thanks again for a job well done.” <br />- Ellen Masciocchi, Project Manager <br /> <br /> WOODSIDE SKATEPARK – Silver Spring, Maryland <br /> BOARD OF CHILD CARE SKATEPARK – Baltimore, Maryland
