Eco-Friendly Skate Parks By SITE

SITE Design Group, Inc. is committed to a Green Building practice to increase the efficiency with which our company uses resources – energy, water, and materials – while reducing impacts on human health and the environment during the structure’s lifecycle, through better design, construction, operation, and maintenance. Our LEED accredited staff implement ecologically sensitive design and construction solutions, focusing on a low impact design. We incorporate the use of gray water drainage systems, recycled and reused materials, as well as waste management strategies, which reduce the amount of construction waste accumulated in landfills. We are constantly researching new ways to design and build projects that work with natural systems rather than over run them.

SITE offers maintenance programs to help maintain the facility, decreasing the wear and tear while increasing the longevity, so the facility stands the test of time. Cities are increasingly and necessarily being re-imagined as ecological entities, the roots and branches of which spread to every area of civic life and every corner of the built environment. Environmentally responsible design and construction is not enough, we will study not just the site, but the systems (vegetative, hydrologic, vehicular, pedestrian, and cultural) that extend well beyond its limits. Only by creatively synthesizing these dynamics can the skate park’s real potential, as a sustainable site and source of civic pride, be achieved.
