Battle Ground Skatepark, located at 912 E Main St, Battle Ground, WA 98604 is another massive 27,000 sq. ft. park built by Dreamland skateparks and as usual with their parks it’s pretty fun. The park is basically two sections, a street area and the bowls area and there are a lot of obstacles to hit at this park. The street section has a bit of everything, ledges, stair gaps, hips, handrails, a pyramid hip and quarter pipes that range in height up to about 8ft or so. There are two bowls, one a massive one that is a bit of a snake run, it snakes down from a 3ft area all the way down to a big half dome ( I don’t know what they are called) that is about 12ft with the rest of the transitions being around 8ft or so with standard copping throughout. The other bowl is more of an old school pool style that is a clover shape, ranging in height from about 5ft to about to 10ft with pool copping with some tight transitions that’s really fun. The park got a bit crowded but it is worth checking out if you are in the area or feel like a drive.

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
