This ceramic replica of the famed Burnside Skatepark Project in Portland, Oregon is the first in a series of DIY skatepark replicas coming in 2011 & 2012. Portions of the proceeds benefit maintenance and development of the Burnside Skatepark Project.
Burnside's rise from junkie lair to its current glory was due to years of sweat, toil, and piecemeal ingenuity by local diehards whom Mark Scott led to expand upon Bret Taylor's original impetus.
Entirely unsubsidized, they laid down concrete and tested it as they went along until they achieved the desired result. It is a grass roots reclamation project that so positively changed the surrounding neighborhood that the city bestowed on them, a citation for civic improvement.
