Concrete Skatepark Construction

We specialize in permanent, poured-in-place concrete skateparks built for long-term performance in Canadian climates. Our career skatepark construction crew executes complex geometry, smooth transitions, and precise detailing to deliver facilities that are durable, low-maintenance, and built to withstand heavy public use.

Municipal Recreation

In addition to skateparks, Transition Construction delivers architectural concrete and municipal recreation projects in public spaces. This year-round civic work strengthens our ability to manage safety, scheduling, and quality control in active environments while applying the same craftsmanship and accountability expected of permanent public infrastructure.

Why Municipalities Choose Design-Build Skateparks

Design-build is increasingly the preferred delivery model for Canadian skatepark projects because it reduces complexity and political risk.

Benefits for municipalities:

  • Early and reliable cost certainty

  • Faster project delivery

  • Fewer change orders

  • Integrated design and construction

  • Single point of accountability

Transition leads construction while coordinating closely with experienced skatepark designers — ensuring the final result performs technically, socially, and financially.

Skateparks are high-visibility civic investments.

We understand what’s at stake.

What sets Transition apart:

  • Proven skatepark design-build experience across Canada

  • Deep understanding of municipal procurement and approvals

  • Cold-climate concrete expertise

  • Collaborative approach with user groups and stakeholders

  • Consistent on-time, on-budget delivery

Our role is simple: deliver skateparks that perform — technically, politically, and socially

All Transition skateparks are constructed using poured-in-place concrete, engineered for:

  • Freeze-thaw durability

These skateparks are civic infrastructure, not temporary installations.

    It is my absolute pleasure to recommend the services of Transition Construction Inc. for skatepark design and construction. The design process from concept to final design of the Burford Skate Park and Phase 2, Optimist Skate Park bowl was an excellent process, and Jay and the team were able to incorporate specific elements proposed by public into the final designs. The ability of your team to be creative in the blending of the older, existing skatepark with the new bowl in Paris resulted in seamless flow and an exciting new element for the skaters. I can’t say enough about what an amazing job your staff did in organizing the work and working diligently every day, rain or shine, to build two fantastic skateparks in Burford and Paris through the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 construction seasons. The skateparks have been enjoyed immensely by our residents and visitors and both parks have received a lot of compliments from users. Your project manager, Al is a great communicator, and he offered innovative solutions when required and was extremely accommodating when we asked for some last-minute changes. The coordination of repairs to our existing skatepark while the crew was on site, was also a value add for us. The renderings and drawings provided by Transitions were well utilized during the engagement phase and throughout construction. All contract administration was handled well by your team. I would like to emphasize that working with your team has been one of the best project experiences I have had in my 38-year career. I am pleased to highly recommend Transitions Construction Inc. for design and construction services for a skatepark for your community. Yours truly,
