Questions/Contacts: City of Pendleton Parks and Recreation Department, 865 Tutuilla Rd., Pendleton, OR. 97801 Ph:541.276.8100.
Nearest Skateboard Shop: The Pedaler's Place, Cycle and Ski Shop, 318 S. Main, Pendleton, OR. 97801, Ph:541.276.3337, HRS: M-F 9:30am-6pm, SAT 10am-5pm. Very limited skateboarding selection.

Misc: Written on sign posted at skatepark: "The City of Pendleton does not provide any ramps or other devices or equipment...This area has been designated by City of Pendleton for skateboarding and Roller blading." In otherwords, the city has provided the space, and it is up to the skaters to provide things to skate on and to maintain the space. The park is a 2 level asphalt court, with a steep slope transitioning the two levels. I am wondering who purchased the 2 "Skatewave" brand modular ramps that are in the space? Restrooms and drinking fountain near, no payphone in sight.
