Great if you like to skate bowls - one giant bowl. Not too much variety.

The one the only. My son was nervous first time but all the pro older skaters were so nice and made him feel like he had found his home.

I’ve been wanting to visit Burnside ever since it began appearing in skateboarding magazines years back. The privilege was all mine recently as I was in Portland visiting and of course it was top of list. Parking was difficult the first day, but actually easier on the weekend. Locals were friendly but it is a grimier spot, lot of herb smoking and drinking going on so if you have kids with you keep it in mind. Portland is such a great city and this DYI sk8park is a perfect embodiment of the crafty and resourceful ethic of the local peeps. Super fast transitions so be ready to skate fast!

The world famous DIY skatepark lives up to its reputation. The park itself is massive and decorated with local street art. We rolled up to about 20 people just hanging out, with a couple people in the park skating. Everyone was chill in a street-smart sort of way, and reminded me of being a teenage skateboard punk. A must see if you are the kind of person who would enjoy it.

Yes

I used to come here to watch my friends skate, like 25 years ago. I don't recall the homeless problem being so bad back then in downtown Portland, but it's definitely pretty scary now. Does the skate park seem pretty safe, as far as that goes?

They just built an apartment building RIGHT NEXT to the park. Like... inches away. There may be rooms for AirBnb in it... not sure of the name.

Will new people, or roller skating, be accepted? I've never ramp skated before but it's the only one I can get to without paying for transportation (college student)

Go early in the morning to avoid a crowd, especially since riding ramps and transition is new to you. Also make sure to show skatepark etiquette, and you'll be okay roller skating down there.

No. Absolutely not

Rollerblading accepted? Or will I get pooped on and screamed at?

Margarita Yazichyan | Jul 25, 2019

Stephanie Stone | Jul 26, 2019

Depends on the crowd. If no one is there go for it but if people start to show up get out of their way. Its a skate park not a roller blade park. Good luck!

Are remote control cars allowed?

Julian M | Jul 25, 2019
