Pacific City Skatepark

Pacific City Skatepark located at 33395 Cape Kiwanda Dr, Cloverdale, OR 97112. Built by Dreamland Skateparks in 2021 this is a very cool little park that has a few different obstacles but is mainly a fun flow bowl with a wave feature. The bowl ranges in size from about 5ft to about 8ft on the extension with the crest of the wave in the center being about 6ft. there are a few different things to hit in the park such as a cornered hip with a half circle grind on a little transition, a kind of little half pipe / transition area on the back of the park, a ledge with angle iron, a handrail, a little pyramid coped hip, and a role in from a boat. The park is really fast and smooth as its super fresh concrete and the copping throughout grinds well and fast. As it is a small park it felt a bit crowded with only 5 people skating and some loos boards kept falling into the bowl from the kids hitting the handrail but if your down there hit it up, it was fun to skate.

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...

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...

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.
