Gateway Skate Spot ( 10502 NE Wasco St, Portland, OR 97220 ) in NE Portland and is a pretty cool spot. Designed by Grindline Skateparks and built by Evergreen Skateparks this park is fairly new being built in 2018 and has exceptionally smooth and fast concrete and is easy to slide out if you eat it. The park starts off with a big flat area that connects to the rest of the public park via smooth sidewalks that lead to some gap ledges near some new construction that is not part of the park but worth hitting.

The top of the bowl has a handrail with a 3 stair gap, a ledge with metal edges, and two role-ins on either side.
