Seaside Skatepark located at 1140 Broadway St, Seaside, OR 97138 is a fun park. Built by Placed To Ride Skateparks (PTR) in 2007 it is a fairly large flow park that basically consists of three different bowls that flow into each other with a little street section that has some inclines, a ledge for grinding and a handrail if I am remembering correctly. The Bowls section range in size from about 4ft to about 10ft with the smaller sections having standard copping with pool copping in the deeper sections.

The park is all around fun and worth hitting up if you are in the area or feel like the drive.

A few of them are indoors private pay to s
