Camas-Washougal Skate Park to get new name with revamp

It’s time to say “goodbye” to the Camas-Washougal Skate Park and “hello” to the Riverside Bowl Skatepark.

The new name — which accompanies a $350,000 revamp that will soon replace the 21-year-old skatepark’s failing wooden ramps with poured-concrete elements designed to withstand the region’s rainy weather and appeal to all levels of skaters — is a nod to the area’s history and the stouthearted group of local skateboarders who have been pushing city leaders to revitalize the park for the past five years.
