Designed for Play. Built for Community.
Founded by Jessica Taylor and Richard Smith, FLOW is a family-run business in Aotearoa dedicated to designing and producing both catalogue and bespoke play and street furniture. Our work spans skateparks, integrated wheeled-play spaces, playgrounds, and urban environments—always with a focus on accessibility, usability, and aesthetics.
With over 20 years of experience as one of Aotearoa’s leading skatepark architects, Richard has designed some of the country’s most iconic wheeled-play spaces. Through FLOW, we’re committed to fostering equity in the industry by creating inclusive, purpose-built environments that welcome diverse wheeled-play users.
Thoughtful Design, Custom Solutions
We believe wheeled-play architecture should spark creativity and adaptability. That’s why our products are designed to be highly customisable, ensuring they seamlessly fit the unique needs of each space. By collaborating with local manufacturers, we bring thoughtful, site-specific designs to life.
Sustainability at Our Core
At FLOW, sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s a commitment. We proudly partner with local suppliers and manufacturers to create high-quality products while minimising environmental impact.
Creating Spaces for Thriving Communities
Play spaces are more than just structures—they’re hubs for creativity, movement, and connection. Whether you’re developing a skatepark, an integrated wheeled-play space, or a multi-use environment, FLOW is here to help bring your vision to life.
Let’s create spaces that inspire.
FLOW Resurfacing is a cement-based coating designed to be applied to skatepark and playground surfaces. Custom colours can be incorporated to compliment new or existing spaces, ensuring a smooth and sustainable finish that enhances the quality and length of life with wheeled-play use.
We design and produce prefabricated skatepark furniture constructed with GRC Concrete and HDG Steel/Corten Steel elements. FLOW Skatepark Furniture is made to enhance user experience as well as being easy to install, store and relocate, allowing limitless possibilities for implementation.
