St. Helens Skatepark (McCormick Park) located at 475 S 18th St, St Helens, OR 97051 is not a bad park. It’s a bit older so the concrete is a bit rough and slow but all around is in decent shape. The street section is a bit sparse, but the park has a pyramid hip with a square handrail, a stepped flat ledge, two ledges that lead down a transition from the 6ft bowl area, and a rounded transition with coping at the top. At the top of the park there is a 9-foot bowl at the top of the park with hips that drop into the 6-foot halfpipe area with metal coping throughout the bowl section.
