Emwon Skatepark

Emwon Skatepark (10861 Main St NE, Donald, OR 97020) Is a little park that’s pretty fun in Donald Oregon which is about 40 minutes south of Portland metro. Donald has a population of around 998 so don’t expect this park to be too busy. This park was built by Dreamland Skateparks and is roughly 2,500 sq ft. It consists of a big pool that’s about 3ft to 4ft with a two stair in the shallow and 10ft to 12ft on the deep end with pool coping all around. It’s in relatively good shape and looks like it was recently painted (past few years) although the paint is coming off in areas but that had no impact on the riding of the pool. The street area of the park is fun, the concrete is a little rough but in good shape all around, it consists of two quarter pipes (or one long half pipe) with some steep transitions that’s about 4ft or 5ft with a round/hump/transition (I don’t know what it’s called) in the center of the half pipe. The coping is in good shape and grinds well. On the back wall of the park are some transitions that vary in size and complexity with a role-in on one side.

Heath Eiland and Morgan Moss BMX Skate Park (House Park)

Heath Eiland and Morgan Moss BMX Skate Park also know by the locals as House Park is located in Auston Texas at 1213 Shoal Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78701 . That’s right Kids I have official ventured outside of the Northwest to check out some other parks. Ok not really but we where in the area and had to check out some parks as part of our trip. The park is pretty fun and consists of a fairly big street section that I actually did not hit up but there is a nice long quarter pipe that’s about 4ft tall in the street part that’s kind of fun and a really fun big bowl section that I spent most of my time skating. After talking to some of the locals I guess the bowl was designed for the BMX’ers as there is a huge bike scene in Austin, but it skates really well. Anyways It ranges in size from about 6ft to up about 10ft at a nice half bowl with some oververt carve section and the entire bowl has a nice flow to it with the concrete and coping being in pretty good shape for its age. if you are in A...

SkateParks

Portland Oregon (and its surrounding areas) is surprisingly a great skateboarding town, PDX “is the first city in the world to have a comprehensive master plan for skateboard park development. SPS conceived of and advocated for a Skatepark System Plan in 2001. It was adopted by Portland Parks & Recreation's skatepark advisory committee and carefully applied to existing park sites over a 24-month planning and public input period, and ultimately supported and passed by Portland’s five elected officials, its city council on August 3, 2005” 1 City council supported and passed a plan for the creation of 19 parks in Aug 2005, But since then more have been supported and built in Portland and the surrounding metro areas. I have found over 100+ parks within 200 miles of Downtown Portland OR, where the majority of them are located, the furthest South West being in Reedsport OR, furthest North in Brier WA, And the furthest East in Ellensburg WA. A few of them are indoors private pay to s...

Kʰunamokwst Skatepark AKA Alberta Skate Spot

Kʰunamokwst  Skatepark (Alberta Skate Spot ) located at 5200 NE Alberta St, Portland, OR 97218 is an interesting park. Built by Evergreen Skateparks in 2015. it’s a little park at 2000 sq.   ft.  with some very interesting lines. Its basically kind of a flow bowl that ranges in depth from about 5ft to as small as 1ft transitions mostly coped in standard coping with some concrete lips at some of the taller transitions. The first time I hit this park up I was not a fan as I couldn’t really figure it out as each transition kicks you out to the next one in a strange way but after hitting it again this park can be pretty fun if you just flow from obstacle to obstacle; you end up carving frontside to backside to grinds and flowing throughout the entire 2000 sq.  ft. Since  Kʰunamokwst  is so small and the way the park flows its hard to get a clean line if there are more than a few people there, and unfortunately this park is always swamped with pre-teens and sc...
