Eric Scott McKinley Skate Park Advanced-level Skate Bowl

McKinley Skatepark Completed
Ribbon Cutting for McKinley Skate Park

 

On April 27, 2024 Corvallis Parks & Recreation celebrated the grand opening of Eric Scott McKinley Skate Park Advanced-level Skate Bowl.

Improvement Project 2024

Construction for a new 2,812 square foot advanced-level skate bowl at Eric Scott McKinley Skate Park begun on March 4, 2023. The new skate bowl is built adjacent to the existing skate bowl. Due to its popularity, the current skate bowl tends to experience overcrowding during the hours of peak use. The new bowl will provide a more challenging course for advanced skaters, while preserving the existing bowl for beginner and intermediate skaters. Construction began on Monday, March 4, 2024 and took approximately three months to complete.
