Burnside

    Built without permission, by skateboarders and later sanctioned by the city, Burnside is the preeminent example of action.  Burnside's unique growth and evolution -through the sweat and blood of a handful of dedicated individuals- have matured into one of the best skateparks in the world.  Burnside and its creators are true pioneers, setting the stage for community built skateparks across the country.




     Like a magnifying glass in the sun, Burnside can witness a concentration of skill level unmatched anywhere.  You can see crazy, crazy things there.  Go, watch, learn, be humbled, excited and inspired.  It is amazing.

    Underneath the Burnside Bridge on the east side of the Willamette River.
