Grindline Skateparks is an American company that designs and builds skateboard parks.[1][2] It has designed and built over 400 skateparks worldwide,[3] including the largest skatepark in America, Spring Park Texas.[4]
Mark Hubbard was working as a pool-building contractor. He helped with the construction of the Burnside Skatepark in Portland. Living in Seattle, he started to turn his friends' pools into half-pipes, and eventually created Grindline Skateparks[2] with cofounder Dave Palmer.[3] Grindline Skateparks was incorporated in 2002 by Mark Hubbard,[2] who managed the company until his death on 8 June 2018.[5][1]
In August 2014, Grindline Skateparks inaugurated the Spring Skatepark in Greenspoint, Texas, one of the world's largest skateparks.[4]
In 2018, Grindline completely remodeled the Humboldt Avenue Skatepark in Chico.[6] Tony Hawk shared his plan to copy the new Chico bowl at the Wilmington Skatepark he is developing.[7]
