Long Live Southbank: The Bigger Picture. Skaters for Portland Skateparks » 19: PORTLAND’S SKATEPARK MASTER PLAN. Portland is, to our knowledge, the first city in the world to have a comprehensive master plan for skateboard park development. Passed by city council ordinance on August 3, 2005, the plan recommends 3 types of skateparks — 19 in total — 13 neighborhood skate spots, 5 district-wide skateparks, and one central city anchor park.
