Skateparks have been known to build and help sustain healthy communities. As a gathering place for athletic youth, the skatepark provides a forum for visitors young and old. Regional and neighborhood skateparks will often draw visitors from other communities.

Eckstein Park, located in Warren, Michigan, is a 13.8-acre recreational area offering various amenities, including baseball and football fields, a playground, and walking trails.

In recent years, the park has been the focus of community efforts to develop a skate park. Redrunn Skate Shop, situated approximately half a mile from Eckstein Park, was actively involved in planning and providing input for the skate park's design. They collaborated with city officials to ensure the facility met the needs of local skaters.

The new Eckstein Skatepark, spanning over 40,000 square feet and featuring more than 700 cubic yards of concrete, is an impressive new addition to Eckstein Park. Evergreen Skateparks worked in collaboration with Van Horn Concrete to meticulously plan and pour the concrete over the course of two months. The park's design was crafted with hand-worked shotcrete, ensuring precision in shaping the park's features. Set to open this spring, the skatepark promises to be an exciting and state-of-the-art destination for skaters.
