Scappoose Skatepark located at E Columbia Ave & SE 2nd St in Scappoose, OR 97056 behind the police station is not a bad park. The Park was re-built by Grindline skateparks in 2012 so the concrete is in pretty good shape and rather smooth, the only issue that really came up was there was a lot of little pebbles that I hung up on a few times so maybe bring a push broom. The park has a few small street obstacles to hit like a pyramid with a ledge with angle iron and a handrail with a ledge with a little launch. The main things to hit are a concrete half pipe and a half bowl with a rounded hip in the center. The half pipe is about 6ft with a 7ft extension partially copped with pool copping and standard steel copping with the other side not having any at the top on one side, with a lower ledge with some steel copping on it. The bowl is about 3ft with standard copping throughout that slide rather well. I’ve been by here a few times, and it is usually over taken with scooter kids but if its not crowded its worth checking out if you are in the area.

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
