i think the park in the book and movie is based off burnside. but its not the same thing, the one in book was supposed to have been built by old schoolers, and the guys who built this park built in the 90's, i think....

That pic is so awesome. There must be quite a story behind it. Really makes you think about possible scenarios that lead up to that outcome.

From Wikipedia:

"Burnside Skatepark is a skatepark located in Portland, Oregon, United States. Located under the east end of the Burnside Bridge, the skatepark was originally built by the skating community without permission and eventually the city approved the area as a public skatepark. The skatepark was also featured in videogames such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Grind Session, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Burnside was also featured in the 2007 film Paranoid Park, as a setting for the eponymous skate park."

Looks like an awesome park.

I read Paranoid Park a few years ago, I didn't really like it all that much, although some parts were good. Haven't seen the flick.

thanks ryan and rosewood. I never read the book, but I loved the movie. I like Gus Van Sant work very much. goo will hunting, elephant and paranoid park being my favourites, last days...hmmm not so much but still a great movie. my own private idaho is ok too.
