OREGON SKATEPARKS - CHEHALEM SKATEPARK

It began approximately two years ago with a petition from over two hundred middle school age youth asking the Chehalem Park and Recreation District to build a skate park. Their main arguement was that they just wanted a place to skate and hang out. The district listened. An architect was hired and the skateboard park site was established at Ewing Young Park. In July of 1999 underground work began with the drainage, electricity and water systems being set in place. The site was roughed out, but the project was shut down in October to wait out the rains. In March of 2000 expert finishers were hired that had a skating backround. They tweaked the original design and completed the project, one of the largest and best skate parks in the world.

At nearly 30,000 sq. feet and featuring designs seen nowhere else, the Newberg skatepark exceeded all expectations. Over two years old Newberg remains one of the most revered skateboard parks in the world.
