AboutInnovativePark Group
Built on a simple belief. Skateparks should be safe, functional, and designed with input from the people who use them.
View Our Approach→
We test what others only inspect.
With skateboarding continuing to grow as both a competitive sport and everyday recreational activity, councils need expert guidance to ensure their facilities meet modern safety standards while serving their communities well.
Innovative Park Group was founded to close that gap. We combine formal audit methodology with genuine on-the-ground experience. Our team doesn't just inspect facilities. We test them. We don't just identify problems. We give you a clear path to fix them.
Leadership
Tommy Fynn
Director, Certified Safety Auditor & Olympic Skateboarding Coach
Tommy brings over two decades of professional skateboarding experience combined with formal certification in safety auditing and compliance assessment. As an Olympic-level coach, he's trained athletes at the highest levels of competitive skateboarding, and he understands both the technical requirements of world-class facilities and what it actually feels like to ride them.
He personally conducts functional testing on every facility IPG audits, skating each park to identify practical issues that a visual inspection alone would miss.
