Scappoose Skatepark

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.

Heath Eiland and Morgan Moss BMX Skate Park (House Park)

Heath Eiland and Morgan Moss BMX Skate Park also know by the locals as House Park is located in Auston Texas at 1213 Shoal Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78701 . That’s right Kids I have official ventured outside of the Northwest to check out some other parks. Ok not really but we where in the area and had to check out some parks as part of our trip. The park is pretty fun and consists of a fairly big street section that I actually did not hit up but there is a nice long quarter pipe that’s about 4ft tall in the street part that’s kind of fun and a really fun big bowl section that I spent most of my time skating. After talking to some of the locals I guess the bowl was designed for the BMX’ers as there is a huge bike scene in Austin, but it skates really well. Anyways It ranges in size from about 6ft to up about 10ft at a nice half bowl with some oververt carve section and the entire bowl has a nice flow to it with the concrete and coping being in pretty good shape for its age. if you are in A...

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.

Silverton Skatepark

Silverton Skatepark in Silverton OR ( W Main St, Silverton, OR 97381 ) is a cool spot. The park is about an hour and half south of Portland Or. Built by Dreamland this 8,500 sq. ft. park is super smooth with really nice concrete. (Dreamland does great surface in my experience) The park consists of a street section that has two stair gaps, one with a handrail, one with a ledge, and a ledge drop flanked by two inclined transitions that lead down the beautiful bowl section. This section consists of two bowls that are spined with a wall ride that is coped across the two bowls. They range in heights, but they average 4.5ft to about 8ft or 9ft and the wall ride spine. The copping is great and easy to lock onto and slides great, the concrete is super smooth and fast. There are a lot of fun lines between both the bowls here, so this spot is definitely worth the drive.
