|
| This is the famous Burnside, OR skatepark! Many legendary sessions went down in this place. Before construction was started in 1990, the park location (under the East side of the Burnside Bridge) was a proverbial "hobo camp" With the construction of the park, the area was cleaned up of hobos, junkies, etc. While the "park" is on city property, it is under close scrutiny and can be closed down at any time by the local government. As long as everyone behaves and no problems are reported, Burnside should live a long life. | |

| Built with a estimated cost of around $10k (plus plenty of blood, sweat and tears), the 9000 sq ft facility would bring a $300K price tag today if built by a professional company. It took about 4 years to complete buy using hand tools, donated concrete and supplies. When compared to a park of "today's standards", the finish is rather lumpy, but that is ok, knowing what it took to construct the park. Moms and Dads, do not bring little junior to Burnside, unless he can rip! This is not the place for amateurs to learn! They will get tossed! There is some serious attitude from the locals. Fruitbooter and paperboys need not apply either! | |
