Stronger Skatepark

Stronger skatepark (6102 SE King Rd, Milwaukie, OR 97222) located in Milwaukie OR is just outside downtown Portland OR. The all wood park is located in a mini mall and is pay to play per two-hour session. You need to go to their website and pick a specific time to skate so just don’t show up and expect to skate. Currently with Covid-19 they are limiting people in the park at 10 per session and you need to wear a mask. It’s worth a note that this park is geared to kids, think Scooters kids, and kids just learning. They also offer classes and sessions catering to learning the basics for kids, all girls skate, queer skate night, quads and inline skate classes, stuff like that.

The park itself is not real big but I actually like this park specifically for the mini ramp they have. The mini ramp is about 5ft at the extensions 4ft all around and is about 20ft or 25ft wide give or take. It's in good shape and has nice copping that grinds well. The mini ramp is spined to a quarter pipe that runs the length of the half pipes lower section at 4ft with a 5ft section in the center that leads to the street section. To one side of the mini ramp you have a little 2ft quarter pipe that is feed from a flat declined transition that has a ledge rail on one side.

The street section consists of one permanent obstacle centered on the back wall, it's a pyramid tabletop/launch with a flat ledge that runs over the length of the pyramid.  The other permanent section is on the front end of the park and it consists of a inclined flat transition with a handrail, a gap and flat inclined ledge that leads to a flat area with a 1.5ft transition with coping on the top of the flat running the length of the entrance window wall. The rest of the street section consists of a variety of movable rails, fun boxes, and launches that you can move around depending on what you are feeling.

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...

Glenhaven Skatepark

Glenhaven Skatepark located at 2831 NE 82nd Ave, Portland, OR 97220 was designed and built by Dreamland Skateparks in 2007 and is a fun park that is fairly big at 11,000 Sq Ft. The Park has a street course with a ton of stuff to hit, a quarter pipe a sloped transition that leads down to some handrails, a stair gap, a euro gap, ledges with angle iron, a flat kinked rail, some fun boxes, a sloped brick transition all enclosed within a 4ft-ish quarter pipe transition. The park also has two bowls, a kidney shaped pool that goes about from a 4ft to about 10ft deep with pool coping and a fun 6ft bowl with standard coping that has an extension and some interesting lines to hit. I like this park a lot, the street section can get a bit busy, but the bowls have always been pretty mellow every time I hit the park so its worth checking out.

Silverton Skatepark

Silverton Skatepark in Silverton OR ( W Main St, Silverton, OR 97381 ) is a cool spot. The park is about an hour and half south of Portland Or. Built by Dreamland this 8,500 sq. ft. park is super smooth with really nice concrete. (Dreamland does great surface in my experience) The park consists of a street section that has two stair gaps, one with a handrail, one with a ledge, and a ledge drop flanked by two inclined transitions that lead down the beautiful bowl section. This section consists of two bowls that are spined with a wall ride that is coped across the two bowls. They range in heights, but they average 4.5ft to about 8ft or 9ft and the wall ride spine. The copping is great and easy to lock onto and slides great, the concrete is super smooth and fast. There are a lot of fun lines between both the bowls here, so this spot is definitely worth the drive.
