There’s a new skatepark, skatepark, skatepark…

…in Echo, Oregon. Thanks to Sam from Skate Oregon for this report:

Eastern Oregon continues blowing up with the little town of Echo (population 700) opening a nice little “Community Skatepark” this afternoon. Grindline made them a great 4000 square foot (?) concrete shape not dissimilar to Portland’s Gabriel Park: shallow top to hip hip deeper bowl. It is open to skateboards, inline skates, and bikes.

While not yet on the official city web page, they do have a Facebook page for the skatepark. And of course, Sam has some shots up at the granddaddy skatepark sites, SkateOregon. Now I have to go look up Echo, Oregon on Google Maps.

    1. It’s all worth it as long as one person gets the joke.

    Echo is not that hard to find. Its on the way to the Pendleton skatepark. Just watch out for the kids they carry knives in their pockets at that town. Trust me I live 10 min away from there.

  3. This place is having a Grand Opening today?
    I’ve already been there twice in the last couple of months.
    Here is some video of Echo and some other skateparks on the way.
