And now a little background on skateparks. The first skateparks were primarily private, for-profit endeavors, although several public parks were built globally. Parks then included pools, bowls, snake runs, freestyle areas, banked slalom areas, half-pipes, and full pipes. Most were concrete and were outdoors. In more extreme climates parks were built indoors, often of wood.
The modern public skatepark is relatively new, made possible by legislation such as California's 1998 law stating that skateboarding is an inherently "Hazardous Recreational Activity" (HRA), and therefore municipalities and their employees may not be held liable for claims of negligence resulting in skateboarders' injuries. Parks are usually for persons 14 or over.
The Tony Hawk Foundation is at the forefront of helping cities to get skateparks built. The Tony Hawk Foundation seeks to foster lasting improvements in society, with an emphasis on supporting and empowering youth. Through special events, grants, and technical assistance, the Foundation supports recreational programs with a focus on the creation of public skateboard parks in low-income communities. The Foundation favors programs that clearly demonstrate that funds received will produce tangible, ongoing, positive results.
Aka Wayne Potter Memorial Skateboard Park

Location: Approximately a 45-minute drive west of Portland on your way to the ocean beaches.
Directions: Take I-5 South to Hwy 99 (Pacific Coast Hwy, Ocean Beaches). Take a left on to Hwy 18 Bi-pass. Go pass the McMinville Airport and take the first Sheridan exit. This puts you onto Main Street. Take a right before the last stoplight (as you are leaving the main drag). The skate park is located in the Sheridan City Park.
Description: This park is small but if you are in the area, it is something to skate. It is concrete with a quarter pipe and a pyramid. It also has grind rails and a six-foot quarterpipe.
Review: We actually did not drive out to this park to give it our review. From the information that we gathered from our customers, the locals largely use this park.
If you are on your way out to the ocean beaches this is worth the stop just to skate something different.
