PORTLAND – About 40 bikers and boarders turned out to break in the city’s new skatepark at Dougherty Field on St. James St. this morning.
The park, which has features such as a skateable bench, a quarter pipe and an A-frame pyramid, was built for $250,000, using a combination of city funds and donated money. The land was provided by the city at Doughtery Field, where a number of baseball diamonds and open space are located.
