Who is going to build the NSB Skatepark?
Misiano Construction & Remodeling Inc. and Team Pain Enterprises were recently awarded the contract to construct the New Smyrna Beach Skatepark. Tony Misiano (General Contractor) has stepped up to head this project and we can't think of anyone who deserves it more or would do a better job. Tony is a life long skater as well which is invaluable on a project such as this. Team Pain Enterprises is one of the premier skatepark builders in the world and we are extremely proud to have them on board. Team Pain is based locally out of Winter Springs, FL and has been constructing skateparks/ramps since the 70's. These guys are not your average construction workers folks, they are true craftsmen and hardcore skaters who take pride in every park they build.

How large is the NSB Skatepark going to be?
Phase 1 of our skatepark design is approximately 7,500 sq ft of concrete skating surface. Our long range 5 year expansion goal is for a 30,000 sq ft concrete skatepark.
What variety of terrain can be expected?
Phase 1 will have a large street/flow area that will satisfy hardcore tech riders as well as someone just looking for fun lines to cruise. At the opposing end of the park there will be a medium size pool. The pool will have depths of 5' to 8' deep and feature concrete pool coping, tiles, and a couple unique features that will make it unlike any other skatepark pool in the country. Our skatepark will have something to challenge every skater from beginner to pro and will put NSB on the map as a popular skateboard destination.

What will the setting be for the NSB Skatepark?
Our goal is to create a clean safe environment that is tastefully landscaped and visually appealing as well as being fully functional. We're trying to retain as much natural tree cover as possible, shade is nice!
How can I help?
We need all the help we can get, this project is still a long way from completion. We are trying to raise additional funds for a concrete block bathroom facility at the skatepark (The current siteplan & budget include 2 port-o-lets). The bathroom building would also include a small shaded patio that would offer some much needed relief from the hot summer sun. In an effort to raise funds for this building we will be offering sponsorship plaques for sale in the very near future (Please check back soon for updates on this). Plaques would be displayed onsite at the park for all to see. We will also be needing volunteers from time to time as the construction moves along, installing fences, laying sod, etc... we will update the website and send out emails when the time comes.
