Portland's bike-friendly streets and laid-back skate culture make it one of the most welcoming longboard cities in the US, with spots ranging from pump tracks to riverside cruising paths.
A chill, gently sloping area near campus, usually open but packed at lunchtime.
A big flat area covered by the Burnside Bridge, great for tricks on rainy days, though it can feel a little sketchy with the homeless community that gathers there seasonally.
A parking lot under the bridge with curbs and ledges for slappies and grinds, stairs, gaps, and the water right there — great for summer sessions and even a dip afterward.
A nice big flat area for dancing, tricks, and just hanging out, with a roughly 15-by-60-foot covered section too.
A chill hill with a flat runout, perfect for beginner downhillers, and a great spot to dance with a lovely view next to a reservoir with grass and benches to relax on.
A pump track full of turns and rollers, busy on weekends and evenings — access it by parking on Maywood Pl and skating down the path.
