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.

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
