Medford

Picture goes here soon

This park boasts to outdo all the previous southern Oregon parks. Two bowls, tall q/ps and banks, corners, mounds and plenty more. This park will offer some 'unusual' ramps like some irregular ramps and a tall tower that will have to be seen to be believed.

Well, the park's done. People have been skating it and we will (of course) get right to business and head on down to check out the newest piece of heaven to grace the Northwest.

Until then, check the City website for some pictures of the park construction in progress.

Directions: 

Off of Interstate 5 you take exit 27, if coming from north you turn left at light, if coming from south you turn right at light. Either way you are then on Barnett Road (heading east). You then turn left onto Highland Drive and then enter the first paved parking lot to left (around curve in road).

Bear Creek Park has tennis courts, a covered pavilion, an outdoor amphitheater, huge play (young kids) area and a trail that goes from the park all the way north through the city to Central Point. It is a cool paved trail that winds along Bear Creek. A fire station is at the next intersection (Highland Drive and Siskiyou Blvd).

Also we are building an inline hockey rink kind of adjacent to the skatepark and there is a bmx track just being compelted in the same general area.

Anyway. Bunches of fast food (McD, Jack in the Box, Burger King) and lots of gas stations/small stores if you were to go the other way on Barnett (west) . Oh, there is a Hometown Buffet close by as well as Fred Meyer, Taco Bell, Starbucks, etc. You can see these from the freeway exit.
Two restrooms are at the park in general areas, no electricity, with drinking fountains scattered around park. Helmets required, rollerblades or skating only, a person is being hired to help monitor the park (vandalism, graffiti, helmets) and after May 26th the operating times will be: Mon - Sat 9am - 9pm Sundays 9am - 6pm.

Big thanks to Bev Power for all the info!
