Clackamette Skatepark — Attraction in Oregon City

A beautiful park at the confluence of the Clackamas and Willamette rivers. It is small. A good place to picnic or to put your kayak or boat into the river.

People swim and fish in the rivers, which is cool if you like that. The Clackamas river is shallow enough here that in places you can walk across. It is a great place for those who are learning to swim. The Willamette has little island you can visit which is beautiful, but the Willamette also has boaters and jet skiers who make a notable wake, so swimming is better in the Clackamas.

The RV park is decent and the least expensive in the area, which is good, but it is first come first served so hard to make any plans in case you are travelling.

If the RV park is full, there is an RV dump station for $5, which is open 24 hours.

The one downside is that the park gates are closed at 10pm. If you don't get back by 10pm you have to park in a lot across the street which is frequented by thieves.

It would be nice if there were a gate that allowed RV customers to enter...

I went to the park today to bring my dog to the river and cool off. The river was beautiful, clean and clear. We absolutely loved the river. BUT.... the park is another story altogether. WHY, WHY, WHY..... will dog owners not pick up after their dogs??? I walked 25 feet from my car to the nearest picnic table and in a straight line. Every 5 steps, literally, was another fresh dump of dog poo. EVERY. FIVE. STEPS. I couldn't figure out how to get off the grass without stepping in it. It was absolutely disgusting. I have owned large dogs for 45 years and STILL do not understand why dog owners fail to pick up after your dogs?!! Your irresponsibility RUINS the park for literally every one else to enjoy.

PICK. UP. AFTER....

Moderately or semi-large features which can be great for a variety of users. Notably, the state flower, Oregon Grape grows right next to the skatepark. 4-5 foot partial quarter pipes make good for launching off of or gapping over, and a taller vertical quarter pipe is great for vert-skills (example: aerial half-turns). There is a multi-tiered box for grinds or bunny hops onto and off of, and two large unique curved rails for grinds or getting onto. #clink This park is good for riders who are comfortable with larger features, though these features are not nearly as large as other skate parks like Holly Farm Park or Gabriel Park. Great place...
