7700 - Ypsilanti Skatepark Design-Build Project

Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission (WCPARC) seeks to design and construct a cast‐in‐place, in‐ground concrete skate park comprising approximately 8,000–11,000 square foot area of skating‐specific features. Final size to be determined during the design process. The skatepark site is located at the corner of E. Clark and Midways roads in the Ypsilanti Township Community Center Park complex (see “Supplemental Documents” for site location maps).
The Ypsilanti Township Skatepark shall, at a minimum, include the following:

1. 1. 1. Accommodate all ages and skill levels with a transitional park design. The park design should also accommodate multiple users at once.
      2. The design should facilitate skate in/out features and serve inline/roller skates, as well as skateboards.
      3. The design should connect the skate park to the larger park and community and take advantage of the existing landscape whenever possible.
      4. Integrate “green” stormwater infrastructure in a way that not only protects water quality but also serves as habitat creation, recreational connectivity and a unique gathering spot for users of the skatepark.
