The Carthage MO skate park was a longtime coming; the parks board had been working diligently on the goal of getting a skate park built for the community and their hard work has finally paid off.  On August 19th 2009 the city of Carthage unveiled their new Pro-Series Skate park to the public.  Many prominent members of the community, city officials, American Ramp Company staff, members of local media, and of course many local skaters were on hand to see, and skate the new park.  Hardees held a contest for the longest rail slide while holding a Thickburger and the winner recieved a new ARC logo deck.  President and owner Nathan Bemo was on hand and skated with those that participated.  Other ARC employees also came out to celebrate the opening of this fantastic park.  While the park is made with our Pro-Series line the center set does have a precast concrete ledge that is made from our Solo line.  Check out the pics below and facebook users take a look at the other photos online.  For any and all of your skate park needs contact a skatepark specialist today at 1-800-949-2024.

To house its massive growth and new concrete batch plant and streamline production, a 16,000 square foot addition was added to our existing 36,000 facility and 5,000 detached building, bringing total under roof to 57,000 square feet!  The new addition houses our new, automated state of the art concrete batch plant complete with overhead crane the distance of the building to deliver concrete to molds and move finished concrete skate park equipment to staging. 

ARC officially began in 1998, and celebrated our 10-year anniversary with an open house with a couple hundred attendees and several media outlets.  Thank you for your support!  Thank you God for allowing us to combine work and hobby!  We anxiously await what the next 10 years will bring.
