Misc: This is a huge, rambling park made up of concrete, plywood and steel. You gotta see the two gargantuen wood and steel 1/2 pipes! The new pool added Summer 2003 is a shining star for Oregon. YOU MUST SEE THE NEW POOL, skate it only if you have the skill. Thanks again, Dreamland, for giving our skaters another invaluable gem! The park stretches out for quite a distance under lots of nice shade trees. A new, all concrete section has been added recently that was done quite well, except it could use a few more lengths of fencing to prevent skaters and/or their boards from flying out into traffic. Drinking fountain (Seasonal?). 1 Porta-Potty. Pic-nic tables.
