Founded in 2006, Pillar is owned and operated by action sports enthusiast and avid skateboarder, Brad Siedlecki. Our business is to create custom, high-quality facilities that truly adhere to the needs of your community, culture, and values. Pillar evolved as a result of a need for appropriate design methodology pertaining to Skatepark facility development. At the time, clients were simply too unfamiliar with the proper design method and construction practices needed to create successful facilities of this nature. Users were literally walking the involved municipalities through the design and building processes without the technical knowledge needed. This created the ultimate goal of Pillar Design Studios, to provide quality, professional design and construction services from the knowledgeable view point of a landscape architect and active Skateboarder. We are so much more than a wholesaler of skateparks that offer options out of a catalog.
