No bowls here but probably one of the best Skaterparks Ive ever been to, besides the one in Santa Cruz, CA. Half-pipes, lot of cool grind spots, really interesting, artistic funbox-type platforms, good stairs and railings; this park is it!

This is a nice and chill skatepark, but going there for the first time may be a little scary since you feel judged. I did feel a little judged I saw some looks while skating or trying to drop in. Mostly everyone is nice and positive but just know you will receive looks from people since I’m pretty young skating, everyone asked me if I was okay when I fell and it was pretty welcoming after a while when you get used to it. Have fun skating here!

Nice park for street features. Concrete needs some love.

This skatepark was pretty sick, although parking was a little tricky, based on the route google sent me on to get there. There were quite a few folks there skating and my son had a great time. I really dig the layout here

So sick! This is not your normal skatepark set up to please scooter kids, bmx and inline. It feels like it was designed by skateboarders for skateboarders. It is set up to flow like an urban plaza that could only exist in a fairy tale city. You can link tricks across multiple obstacles and put together creative lines over stairs, rails, ledges and hubbas. If Camelot had a plaza in its city center, Ed Benedict Skatepark would be it.

I am a new Skater and at first you feel Judged and Overwhelmed but after you get used to it, it is a nice smooth area with nice ramps

Nice park. Clean and usually not to many people. Great place to skate at and even a good place to take your dog for a walk. They have two bathrooms and even a playground for the kids.the bathrooms are cleaned every morning so far only found a used needle there so double check area if you bring kids there. Beyond that decent park.

Top skatepark Ive been to in Oregon. Spread out nicely with a good variety of things to skate, but mostly street. They do have transition but it all has pool cooping

Skaters are respectful, if you are. ledges are a little high, but smooth grinds if you can sit on it. halfpipe is nice, and has pool coping. has 2 stair, 3 stair, and 5 stair. i loved it first timer, comfortable enough to stay hours.

This place has an amazing nba regulation basketball court. At least three days a week at nine am my best friends and I recruit people and go play basketball til about one pm. Its always a good run and the double rims make your shot improve. The court is also large enough to easily run five on five. Theres also a water fountain and shade right next to the court including park benches on either side. We usually bring a blue tooth speaker and play as hard as we can. Its super fun. Highly recommended.

Thought it was for Peewees because no bowls bt.the half pipe makes up for whatever the park could skateneeds.

This park has a little bit of everything. The half pipe is a bit too cramped though. As a 45 yr old skater, the skaters there are pretty cool, not much drama. That is a bonus for anyone the is learning or just not that good(yet). Skate on!

Its a good place to skate if you know how to do that sort of thing. Not the best skate park in the metropolitan area but it does the trick if youre interested in skateboarding. Not a good place to ride your bike though.

Neat skate park in NE Portland. It is small, but has a fun layout. There is room to roll around, and of course you have your grind bars and dip/drop(?) spots. There is seating all around, however no covered seating directly in the skate park area. All different age groups come to skate, scoot, roller blade. It is a good place for kids and families to come for the most part. There is walking paths around the park, and a large open field. The open field sometimes has soccer games, for schools or local groups, etc.

Rad plaza style skatepark with a great variety of ledges and manual pads to hit. If you are looking for hangtime then seek elseware. Almost any other park in Portland is better off for that. They do have a half pipe thing but it is more of a tube with no real flatbottom. Great park in the back for the rest of the family to chill and do activitys that familys do.

Sweet suburban skate park. Im an adult who didnt really skate when I was a kid, but my younger son is into it. Ive brought him and a couple of his friends here a number of times and Im always impressed at the multigenerational support and comeraderie. An old guy shows up in a suit and tie, driving his Lexus, changes at his trunk into board shorts. Proceeds to rip a series of huge runs dropping in from top of wall at one end and launching himself out the other end doing tons of crazy tricks I cant really describe. Hangs out long enough to give tips to the high school kids and the younger set. The features are neat, but its the people who go here make it rad.

Go here to play Pokemon all the time theres 2 gyms and a few pokestops (like 6+) and always hella Pokemon. Its a nice park. Its got a paved walkway that goes all the way thru the park from one end to the other. A play structure. And lots of grass. Theres a big parking lot too. And public restrooms. I think theres a field to play soccer too. Plus of course the skate ramps and bowls.

Great, large, wide open park. Lots of space. Basketball court, playground, skate park, big fields. Dont bring a drone tho. A security guard shook a dude down who was flying one. I dunno, maybe he was checking out tatas with the camera or something

Includes lots of reasonable height ledges and small stairs so you dont have to be a mega park star to skate something here. Most approachable park Ive been to around here

Probably the best park for street skating in all of portland. Could use some lights for night skating or something to keep it under cover. Other than that. I love it

Took my daughter to the Burnside Skate park, but that was a little too intimidating. This place is low-key enough for beginners, but has plenty of stuff to keep more advanced skaters entertained.
