Battleground Park - Battle Ground, Washington, U.S.A.

(6/21/2007)

So... Battle Ground is a suburb bedroom community of Vancouver, WA. From downtown Portland, it takes about 40-minutes to get there by going north on I-5 and taking the Battle Ground exit. Follow signs to Battle Ground and continue east on Main St. The park is just a few blocks east of the local high school and is near markets, restaurants and bars. Lights are on until 11 pm.

This is another Dreamland creation and what they claim to be their largest yet at 28,500 sq. ft.

This park has a large bowl that empties out to a pocket and what is being called the squadle... a squashed cradle with a flat spot the farther you get out on it. The bowl continues out to a 6-footish half-pipe and then a kinked mini-ramp.

The street section is by far Dreamlands best yet. I counted 15 skates rolling the street course at one time.

There is also a very nice amoeba shaped swimming pool style bowl.
