Burnside skatepark has a rich history as the first DIY skatepark ever built and it is still standing today. It was built illegally without permission from the city of Portland over thirty years ago. Burnside has been completely built by skateboarders without any city funding but it has seen the likes of Dreamland and Grindline skateparks helping out over the years.

This skatepark is not suited for beginners due to the shear size of the bowls and ramps. Even intermediate skateboarders might have difficulty navigating the vertical transition here. If you do decide to skate here make sure to show respect to the locals and you should be fine.
