Skate Park Revival in Portland | Portland News

Portland’s Dream Big City is pouring hundreds of thousands into a major skate park makeover at SE 9th & Taylor, transforming a once-avoided spot into a sanctuary for at-risk youth. Kids are leaving weapons behind for skateboards, forging friendships, and discovering passions — all while building community in a safe, vibrant space. The kickoff event featured art workshops, free food, music, and local input on new ramp designs, with Bora Architecture donating $60K in design work to support the mission. Renovations aim to wrap by October, turning this park into a beacon of positive change for the neighborhood. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
