THOMPSON PARK SKATEPARK

Thompson Park Skatepark is located in the Dalles, Oregon and is a 7,500 square foot skatepark built and designed by Spohn Ranch. The design surprisingly features a wide range of terrain for such a small skatepark and really does have a little bit of everything to suit all styles and skill levels.

There is a quarter pipe that wraps around one of the corners that you can use to gain speed for the euro gap or the bank, and there is also a nice flat bar at the top of the left bank that was added after the original build. A stair set and hubba is the next feature after the euro gap in this corner of the skatepark.

The other two corners consist of a flat bank with a hip that has a ledge perched on the top, with the opposite corner having a rounded bank with a big basalt rock incorporated into it. Two more flat bars are on offer that was in the original build. The ledge and manual pad are really fun along with the bank to ledge feature in the middle of the skatepark.
