Great skateparks are built by skaters. The best producers of skateparks have skaters who design, survey and build.  They are also totally cool so if you ever want info on a park just contact them.
New Line
Spectrum - now gone but their former staff are still busy. (see Radius)
Drop-in Skateparks from MB are now in Ontario
Papillon Skateparks - Sick skateparks out of Quebec with 2 projects in Ontario so far.
