Portland Oregon Skate parks

Keizer Skatepark is located in Keizer OR, ( 930 Chemawa Rd NE, Keizer, OR 97303 ) about 45mins south of Portland OR. I have to say that this park is not my favorite for a few reasons but mostly because the two times I have been there I have got broken. The 1st time I broke my wrist when I got wheel bite, the 2nd time I blew out my knee when I hit a wet spot that I did not notice in the bowl. I think the place is fucking cursed, but you can make up your own mind. The park has recently been refurbished by Dreamland , who did a good job but it still has some really rough concrete almost everywhere with exception of the bowls, halfpipe and the lines they smoothed out in the street part. Keizer has a variety of obstacles to hit including rails, hips, pyramids, ledges, some stair gaps with handrails, and other various shit but the reason to go here at all is for the refurbished big bowl with a keyhole, its super fun, fast and smooth at about 6ft with decent coping. Another reason I am not a ...

Holly Farm Skatepark – ( 10819 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR 97219 ) In SW Portland is a 2,800 sq ft oblong concrete bowl, it was designed and built by Dreamland Skateparks . The park is in a residential area off of SW Capitol Highway and when I was there it had a ton of scooter kids and families with strollers milling about in and around the bowl. The Park itself starts with an inclined run that has brick inclines on either side that gradually increases in height as you head to a steep incline that has a half bowl to the back that leads into the main bowl itself. The Bowl ranges in height, with the lowest being around 5ft and the tallest around 9ft or 10ft with a kicker step being on the taller wall. In the center of the bowl is a 4ft curved spine that faces the inclined entrance into the bowl making a kind of curved halfpipe on the back end of the spine that faces the back wall. The park looked super fun before I tried to hit it, I was picturing myself just carving around easily in th...

Pier Park ( 10421 N Lombard St, Portland, OR 97203 ) is my local spot in St Johns OR and one of my favorites. Designed and Built By Dreamland Skateparks the park starts with a S-Curve section that leads down to the main park that runs down to Pier’s four main sections: a street section, a medium bowl, a small bowl, and a monster bowl with a full pipe in the center. This concrete park is in really good shape and rather fast, with 4 ledges, a stair gap, and three handrails.  Don’t expect to be able to slide out if you bail in the bowls, while the concrete is smooth it tends to just grab your pads and pull them down, I have fucked up my knees a few times. If at all possible I found its best to run out if you hang up or eat shit.
