Dept. of Skateboarding Skatepark - Portland, OR
Pics & Review Submitted by Agent B-52 - Submit your park here!
Need to skate, but the weather is crap during your Portland, OR visit? Go to The Department of Skateboarding for a fun filled session! Although this is one of the slickest indoor parks I have been to (seems like all the masonite had wax on it), it is still a great indoor park. The street course has all the stuff you would expect and there is a small bowl off to the side. The main feature is the 6'-8' kidney pool w/ steel coping and tile.
Now, let me explain about the "tile" that D.O.S. installed... it is NOT ceramic, but 4" vinyl squares-Damn, they are clever!!! They attached the tile with adhesive and put one drywall screw though the middle of each tile. When you hit it with your wheels, you still get the sound and feel of the real stuff! The small bowl has a wall ride built into one end. Department of Skateboarding is a "pay to skate per session" type-park. A full service pro shop is on site too.
