The crew at Evergreen Skateparks just hit us with another batch of progress photos from the massive 20,000-square-foot build going down in Salem, Oregon—and things are really starting to take form in a real way.
You can already see the flow developing, (even with all the rebar, forms, and framing still exposed) and I have to imagine the Salem locals are getting stoked. Take a look:

If you know Evergreen, you know they don’t miss. These are the same dudes behind some of the most thoughtfully designed skateparks in the country—parks built by actual skaters with a deep understanding of what works and, well, what doesn't. And from the looks of it, this gem is getting that same treatment.
We've been watching this build take shape for a while, and although it's still early, you can tell this place is going to rip once the concrete dries.
Selfishly, seeing these photos makes my own janky pre-fab park near my house feel even more tragic, but that’s another story. Ha! The real win here is for Salem, which is about to be home to another huge addition to the ever-expanding PNW skatepark scene.
Shoutout to the Evergreen builders and anyone who's been lending a hand. Real skateboarders building real skateparks. Boom!
