EVOLVING SKATEPARK

What EVOLVING SKATEPARK does

Evolving Skatepark is a French design bureau (SAS, founded 2017/2018) headquartered in Bordeaux with a secondary office in Chambéry, specializing in the conception of skateparks and pumptracks for French municipalities and local public-sector clients. The firm operates with a small team of 1-10 employees and has accumulated 50+ project references across France since inception. Its market positioning targets an underserved niche: France hosts 1,403 skateparks but only ~1.2% (17) are freestyle parks, leaving structural demand for specialist design services.

The company's core offering centers on hybrid skateparks that combine in-situ concrete works with modular systems. Technical differentiators include a proprietary metal-silicon sandwich module (deployed at La Motte-Servolex), adjustable rail systems, resi (resin) ramp solutions, and a handi-friendly (accessibility-focused) pumptrack co-developed with Mobil'Iki. The firm is led by founder Luc Bourdin (Conception, 30+ years of experience, FFRS roots) alongside associates Alex Sioc Han de Keating (Maîtrise d'oeuvre) and Marc Charlot (Communication, President). Distribution leverages federation ties — notably FFRS (French Roller and Skateboard Federation) — and community events such as Vibrations Urbaines to maintain visibility among municipal decision-makers.

Commercially, Evolving Skatepark operates a project-based design services model, with each engagement won through municipal tender and billed per mandate. Revenue is not disclosed; based on team size and reference count, the business runs at modest scale (likely Under $1M to low single-digit $M annual revenue). The 2026 project slate — including Gap, Bercy/Paris 12th arrondissement, and La Motte-Servolex — signals continued geographic and technical expansion, while 100% public-sector exposure ties growth to local-government capital cycles and tender outcomes.

Revenue model

1. Master Contractor / Maitrise d'Œuvre Services: Evolving Skatepark acts as the primary project designer and master contractor for municipalities and local governments commissioning skateparks and pumptracks. Revenue is generated through project fees for services spanning the full project lifecycle: diagnostic studies, feasibility analysis, programming (cahier des charges), preliminary and detailed design (APS, APD, PRO), tender management (DCE, offer analysis), construction supervision, and final delivery ( parfait achèvement ). The company also offers design-build turnkey contracts ('Conception - Réalisation') combining design with construction through its network of partner builders.
2. Project Phasing Services: The company offers multi-year project phasing ('étaler son projet sur plusieurs années'), allowing municipalities to spread investments. This creates recurring engagement with the same municipal clients across multiple years, with annual or phase-based payments as each project stage is completed.
