Improvement Project 2024 Construction for a new 2,812 square foot advanced-level skate bowl at Eric Scott McKinley Skate Park begun on March 4, 2023.

Construction began in March 2024 and wrapped up in June.

A multi-modal path connects the Corvallis Skate Park to the Riverfront Commemorative Park which runs along the Willamette River and 1st Street.

The new skate bowl is slated to be built immediately adjacent to the existing skate bowl.
