Tucked beneath the Burnside Bridge in Portland, Oregon, Burnside Skatepark is far more than just a skate spot — it’s a legendary piece of skateboarding history. Born in 1990 out of pure DIY spirit, it was built illegally at first, poured by local skaters with donated bags of concrete and zero city permission. Over time, this renegade slab grew into one of the most iconic, respected skateparks in the world.

Burnside is sacred ground. If you skate, it’s a pilgrimage. If you’re new to it, it’s a masterclass in DIY soul. Every line you carve here connects you to three decades of rebellious creativity and the unbreakable bond between skaters and their concrete canvas. Burnside Skatepark isn’t just a spot to ride — it’s a symbol of rebellion, creativity, and community. It was built illegally. It’s raw, weathered, and wild. And yet, it stands — thriving, legendary, and alive with motion.

Burnside Skatepark is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:
