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.
This blog is about documenting the many parks that are within 200 miles of Portland Oregon and my progress after getting back into skateboarding after 17 years.
