Nevada City, Calif. — The City of Nevada City announced today that two skateboard park design firms have been selected as semi-finalists for the Nevada City Community Skatepark Project. Grindline Skateparks and Spohn Ranch Skateparks will present to the City’s Community Services Committee at a public meeting on August 5, 2025.
The public is invited to attend the presentations and can provide public comment on the item. Note: The firm’s presentations are a part of the City’s evaluation process in the final selection; however, the skatepark design concepts are just that a concept – not the final design. Public feedback will be collected in future public engagement efforts and will influence the skatepark design to be built.
“Community engagement and feedback is central to this project,” said Assistant City Manager Lon Peterson. “We want to ensure the final design reflects the needs and desires of Nevada City residents while creating a distinctive recreational asset for our community.”
Public Meeting Details:
- Date: Tuesday, August 5, 2025
- Time: 5:30 p.m.
- Location: Nevada City Hall, 317 Broad Street, Nevada City, CA 95959
- Format: Each firm will present for 5-15 minutes, followed by 5-15 minutes of questions
The presentations will focus on four key areas: concept design and user flow, community meeting facilitation strategies, feedback collection processes, and how community input will be translated into design elements that serve skaters of all skill levels.
The meeting is open to the public, and community members will have the opportunity to provide comment as part of the meeting process. The Community Services Committee meeting agenda and skatepark proposals will be published 72 hours prior to the meeting.
