Westbound Boarder

For those of you who are old pros or now ready to hit the skateboard park, here is a list of Westbound’s favorite skateboard parks in the grand state of Oregon!

• Burnside: The most well known. You may recognize this one from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, he ranks it one of the top 5 skate parks altogether.
• West Linn: It’s great for the pool lovers and is known for its large and fast bowls. (Plus it is in my hometown, so check it out!)
• Lincoln City: Ranked 9/10 by Thrasher Skateboard mag, this one is a must visit.
• Tualatin: This park maybe super flat, but a great place to learn and get comfortable in the park.
• Newberg: Sorry Lincoln City, but thrasher ranked this park an 11/10. Just when we didn’t think the Oregon skate parks could get any better, they have!
  

Skateboarding may have been invented in Andrea’s state of California, although Oregon genuinely boasts a much higher skate park per capita than Cali does.
