Firm History
Wormhoudt Incorporated was established by the late Ken Wormhoudt in 1963, providing landscape architectural services for the design of parks, schools, playgrounds, commercial projects, public projects and private residences. As a Landscape Architect with over 45 years of experience, Ken Wormhoudt is widely recognized as the pioneer of public skate and bike park facility design and planning. His user input based designs demonstrated his careful attention to client needs and has set the standard for most public skate and bike parks being built today.

Wormhoudt Incorporated became involved in the field of skate park facility design and planning in 1974. The City of Santa Cruz, California contracted with the firm for the master plan of a community park and a skating facility was part of the proposed program. Utilizing input from local skaters for the design, a plan was created and the park was built. Today, Derby Park is still heavily used, and is recognized as the world's oldest public skate park.

Since the design of Derby Park, Wormhoudt Incorporated has designed over eighty skate and bike park facilities that are in use throughout the world. The firm has provided skate and bike park consulting services for over 450 communities throughout the world and is working on numerous projects this year.
