Posted on by

The Portland Parks and Recreation Steel Bridge Skatepark project moved forward earlier this month, with a second community gathering held on June 4th. This served as a follow up meeting to the initial open house that took place on Sunday, February 15th.

The 63,000 square foot skatepark will be located in Portland’s Old Town neighborhood, just south of the Steel Bridge. The design team consists of DAO Architecture, Lango Hansen Landscape Architects, Grindline Skateparks, and Dreamland Skateparks.

A survey was available both at the event and online at this initial open house. Questions were aimed to inform the design of the project and allow for public considerations to be taken into account as the project continues to develop.
