Trucks and Fins is a huge present to the whole skate community - not just for the skating people, but also for shops, builders and schools. Super easy to use and can't believe how complete it is.

The Deck skatepark in Arizona - 20000 square meter of concrete fun
September 30, 2022
When we saw this gem pop-up, we had to find out more, so we reached out to Jack Anderson to ask a couple of questions.
Introduce us to the park - tell us its name, where it is, what kind of park will it be (more street-oriented, just a bowl, a plaza...), its approximate dimensions, if it's already open to the public, who involved in the construction and design, that sort of stuff.
"The Deck", aka Eastmark skatepark, is located in a 4.1 acre park in Mesa, Arizona. The Deck is a mix of everything (street, vert, plaza, pump tracks, etc). Every feature in the park is skateable, even the benches, walls, handrails, and stairs. It has beginner and advanced pump tracks, ramps, quarter pipes, along with shade structures, seating areas, and open green spaces. The Deck can be thought of as more than a skatepark but a community focal point, gathering spot, and social hub. The park is open daily to public sunrise - 10pm.
Companies involved in the construction: Anderson, SpohnRanch, Gothic Landscape, Sunrise Engineering, Brookfield Residential, DMB Development
Is there any feature that you're particularly happy with, that came out really nice or is really fun to skate?
We really like the way the main entryway signage came out and the different styles of pump tracks.
Any dream trick or link you'd like to see go down in any of the park's features or areas?
We really liked this line of Austin Salzman, a local pro skater and we would really like to see someone transfer over the volcano.
