GO SKATEBOARDING!
Connelly & Wicker Inc. celebrates National GO SKATEBOARDING DAY with the Grand Opening of the Ed Austin Skate Park in Jacksonville, Florida. The skate park was a design build project led by OTAK Group, Inc. with the design team made up of TEAM PAIN, a nationally known skateboard design group, and Connelly & Wicker Inc. which completed the Engineering and Landscape Architecture for the project.
"The City of Jacksonville had an image of the best concrete skate park to be brought to this city. And our team delivered," stated Allan Iosue, Vice President of Landscape Architecture at Connelly & Wicker Inc.
The 9,000 SF skate park, which is free to the public, is situated between existing trees and boasts some of the best designs for both urban and bowl skating. Present at the grand opening was Councilman Bill Bishop and past Mayor Ed Austin, who the regional park is named after.

Turnberry Harbour Sales and Model Center
The Turnberry Harbour Sales and Model Center (shown above) is just one of the many pieces of the Turnberry Harbour project that Connelly & Wicker, Inc. has been involved with. The Sales and Model Center, located near the entrance of the Turnberry Harbour development, includes a model unit of the Turnberry Harbour residential condominiums along with the associated offices. Upon completion, the entire Turnberry Harbour development will include the Sales and Model Center, a gatehouse near the entrance of the residential community, condominium towers and maisonettes, a clubhouse, tennis courts, pools, and access to the surrounding Regatta Bay Golf Course. Connelly & Wicker is currently finalizing the civil design work for the golf course improvements, the gatehouse, the infrastructure and roadway, the clubhouse and maisonettes, and the first condominium tower of the Turnberry Harbour development.
Team Connelly & Wicker cheers on The Jacksonville Jaguars for the NFL Playoffs. The Jaguars won their first postseason game in eight years on Saturday night. Hopefully they could hear our cheers from our balcony. As they go into another Saturday night game this weekend against the undefeated New England Patriots we want to wish them luck and let them know we support them and we know they can win. GO JAGUARS!
