Gresham Oregon skatepark is open

Gresham Oregon skatepark open

Phase One of the Gresham skatepark built by Dreamland is now open for fun, provided you play by the rules. Phases two and three are distant, and unfunded dreams so far as anyone knows. [Photo: City of Gresham]

  • The Sprinkler Idea is tight…
    Sounds great for a private bowl, when U want to kick everyone out. PARTYS OVER. You could even have it on a timer.. Lol
    Good times!

  • DickCancer

    Well, it’s time to annoy…

  • Looks sooo tight. Should be fun if you skate there when it’s empty, though? Somebody’s gonna get impaled chest-first on that pointy pyramid thingamajig.

  • Drunk Andy

    How dare you joke around jakeandannoy? This is serious bidness.

  • BJJPDX/Tom

    It looks just as tight when your there too. Its been rainign so I havent ridden it yet. Kinda hope phase 2 comes sooner than later

  • jakeandannoy

    the question was rhetorical..my failed attempt at humor in regards to the northwestern climate.

    Looks rad. Is it always going to be wet?

    Yes, always wet.
    Dreamland installed sprinklers ” keep it wet, so its a challenge for the kids and they will learn to skate more challenging terrain.”

  • shit was alright, really small square footage and the flow of the park creates some really good collision zones…the banks up to the
    semi-circular ledge has about 15 different angles going on so it takes a few minutes to figure it out.

    Looks rad. Is it always going to be wet?

  • Looks tight , compact and a WHOLE LOTTA stuff in a little space. I foresee plenty of collisions.
    But then pics can be deceiving.

  • Slow skate is only for the young skaters? They obviously haven’t seen this old man skate…

  • No “Skating against traffic”? Harsh.
