Kanten was the skatepark design lead for Stantec and it collaborated on the design of the skatepark and the overall park project with Schmidt Design Group. Most of the input came from working with the community at the public meetings and the Tony Hawk Foundation.
What was the thought behind building it across the freeway from another park?
There was an opportunity to do the smaller project right away as part of another project across the bridge, but it was determined the city still needed a bigger regional size skatepark and that was the space available to do it across the bridge at Park De La Cruz as part of a grant that the City of San Diego secured.
