		<description>What was your point in making this list?  To name-drop the folks who built your favorite parks, or to give information to people looking to hire a design or construction firm?  First, Newline and Pillar don&#039;t do construction (well, Newline does in Canada), they&#039;re design firms.  Same with Action Sport Design, and for the most part, Wally Hollyday (he does build some of his designs).  Second, how is someone gonna hire the &quot;San Pedro and Washington Street DIY builders&quot;?

I&#039;m not gonna comment on your ranking order; everyone&#039;s opinion is subjective, and any of those firms can do good construction.  You might wanna point out how much each firm charges on average, though, so people will have an idea what they might expect for their budgets.  In my experience, Who Skates, Evergreen, Artisan, and Placed to Ride do the most with small budgets.  Dreamland, to some degree as well.  Ideal did too, but they don&#039;t exist anymore.  I don&#039;t think CA deserves the bad rap Jojo gave it above; they are doing some of the best quality and most innovative designs right now, especially in plazas.

The reality is that most public skateparks will get designed and then built through a public bidding process, so the main use of a list like this is either to let folks know some good firms to send RFP notices to, or for towns with small budgets and the ability to hand-pick a vendor, a list of firms that might be able to give them the most for their money.</description>

		<description>thanks for the input jojo, let us know some companies we missed that are worthy and we will include them. Yeah ca skateparks has parks under their belt that suck, but they have a few good ones too that are pretty rad so that&#039;s why they are on the list.</description>

		<description>ok, after watching that video of yall skating a CA skatepark, i guess that park should be in the top ten, but they really make some bland skate parks.... just saying. any firm building that many parks surely wouldn&#039;t need the free promotion from broken magazine! there are so many small companies out there doing rad work that could use a boost!</description>

		<description>i don&#039;t understand how dreamland and CA skateparks can even go on the same list? basically, CA skateparks, and any of these crews. CA skateparks makes crap! the only good thing they got going on is their pools. and realistic pools are about as stupid as street plazas! don&#039;t get me wrong, i love a good street plaza, and a pool replica, but this is kinda whack. also, its arvada colorado.</description>

		<description>The City applied for a State Parks grant to fund the construction of a skate park.  As part of the process, the State is looking for strong community support of the project.  I recommend contacting the City&#039;s Community Services Director, Cynthia Alexander, at calexander@sanjuancapistrano.org, if you are interested in submitting a letter to the State in support of the project.  Announcements are expected in the spring.</description>
