But he never hurt nobody

Battle Ground Banks

…He just loved to live that way. And he loved to steal your money. Can you blow out a spot across the street from the Police station? Battle Ground, Washington has more interesting terrain than just a skatepark going for it.

It’s actually at the Fire Department, which shares a parking lot with the Police station. Click to enlarge, and barge at your own risk.

Of course there’s a No Skateboarding sign, but why not just let kids (or anyone) skate there anyway, or maybe set up sanctioned “skate hours?”

    Hard to ride, saw this about 2 years ago. Not much of a bust, blown out that most know about it but never seen anyone else riding it when i went. the rail is too tall/short to do any transfer to the banks but a bluntslide..maybe was wondering when i was going to see something about it……..the banks on 112th/gher alot more fun plus a curb at the top. and blabity blah blah blah man im so high i dont even know whats goin on…

    And the sign said long haired freaky people neen not apply!

  5. i lived a few blocks from it and it is real rough but super fun i never got more than 15 mins before someone ask me to leave.

  6. Skated it a few isolated times in the 80s…was chased off.
    It was actually kinda bumpy, but it was there so I had to hit it a few times.

  7. 112th/Gher…I think I’ve ridden some of the banks you’re talking about, but I’m old, and the banks I chose were not well lit, so I wasn’t at it long because I couldn’t see worth a damn.
    I’ve seen others with better light near them, but I haven’t tried them yet.
