About Innovative Park Group
Bringing expertise, passion, and professional standards to skatepark safety and auditing
Our Story
Innovative Park Group was founded on a simple belief: skateparks should be safe, functional, and designed with input from the people who use them. With skateboarding becoming an increasingly popular sport and recreational activity, councils need expert guidance to ensure their facilities meet modern safety standards while serving their communities effectively.
Our team combines professional auditing expertise with real-world skateboarding knowledge. We don't just inspect facilities—we test them. We don't just identify problems—we provide actionable solutions. And we don't just meet compliance standards—we help councils create facilities that users love.
At IPG, we're committed to making skateparks safer, better maintained, and more accessible to the communities they serve.
