Activism makes Portland heaven for skateboards
by Conor Dougherty, The Wall Street Journal

This often drizzly city may be the most skateboard-friendly town in America.

In Portland, skateboarding has been woven into parks and streets in the same manner as cycling or soccer. Skateboarding is illegal in downtowns across the country. Portland's downtown is marked with "skate routes" featuring signs with a skateboarding stick figure. In most cities, skaters consider it a big victory when a skatepark is built. Portland is building a network of 19 skateparks scattered throughout the city. Skaters even have one of their own in City Hall: Tom Miller, chief of staff to Portland Mayor Sam Adams, rode into politics through skateboard advocacy and has continued pushing for skateparks from the inside.

It's a transformation that began nearly two decades ago when a bunch of Portland skaters built an illegal skatepark in a trash-strewn area under a downtown bridge. By 2020, skaters in this city of about 600,000 people will have just about every kind of terrain they could want. Five parks have already been built. The Ed Benedict skatepark, which opened in February in Portland's southeast district, features built-in "street" obstacles such as ledges and stairs, where young skaters can be seen trying to flip their boards every which way. The ramp-oriented Pier Park opened in 2006 and has several concrete bowls, the deepest at 11 feet.

The centerpiece of the system will be a downtown skatepark, still in the proposal stage, that the city hopes will blur the lines between the typically cloistered skateboard park and an open urban plaza.

Portland's skatepark system is just the biggest example of how skateboarders are institutionalizing their sport. Seattle, San Antonio and other cities have embraced the idea of the multi-skatepark "system." Oceanside, Calif., just added two new skateparks, including a street-style park with rails and ledges and a ramp-heavy site that leads into a deep pool.
