10 bucket list skateparks in Lisbon
So, you wanna visit Lisbon and looking for skateparks? Here are our top 10 in the city.
When I started skateboarding at the age of 42 I started visiting different skateparks during the weekends. You know, skate something different and get away for a bit, visit new places. After a short while I found it was difficult to find new skateparks and was surprised to find out that there was not one website with all the skateparks and miniramps in the country. So I, with the help of a friend, decided to make a website for the skater community in Portugal. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Before we knew it we had 128 skateparks, mini ramps and hotels with bowls in continental Portugal on our bucket list. Skateparks have been popping up like mushrooms the last couple of years and the district of Lisbon now has a total of 34 skateparks. And today we want to share with you our favourite 10 bucket list spots in and near the city of Lisbon.
Chelas skatepark
Chelas skatepark, aka Skatepark de Marvila, is a concrete park located in City Park Vale de Chelas. The skatepark was designed and built in 2013 by Francisco Lopez and funded by Rock and Rio. The skatepark features one of the largest bowls in Portugal and a large street section with a good variety of obstacles and a nice flow.
Parque das Gerações Skatepark
Parque das Gerações skatepark, aka PDG, was inaugurated back in 2013 by the Municipality of Cascais who invested more than 300000€ to build one of the best skateparks in the country. The skatepark was designed by Francisco Lopez. In 2017 Parque das Gerações won the OP2017 (another 300000€ investment in new infrastructures), more than 5 years later the users are still waiting for the extension of the park.

Monsanto skatepark
It’s in Monsanto Park, almost three times bigger than Central Park in New York, in sunny Lisbon, that lies one of Lisbon's best skateparks. Monsanto skatepark was designed by Francisco Lopez in 2018. You can find the park in Parque de Merendas da Alameda Keil do Amaral. You will have to park your car somewhere and walk a good 100 meters to reach the park, because it's tucked up in the forest. The skatepark is made up of a bowl and street section with a nice variety of obstacles. A broom is a good tool to bring. If you are the first person at the park you will have some cleaning to do. The trees provide shade, but also fills the park with morning "death-traps".

Odivelas skatepark
Odivelas skatepark, aka Torre do Skate Park, is one of the oldest skate parks in Portugal and definitely an iconic bucket list spot in Lisbon. The park was last renovated by Wasteland Skateparks and Academia dos Paitins in 2020.

The pumptracks were built by Velosolutions in 2020 for an estimated cost of 236000€. The Red Bull UCI Pump Track World Championship were held here in 2021. Located 100 meters from the Expo pumptrack you find the Expo skatepark.
Caxias skatepark
Caxias skatepark is a wooden park, built by Academia dos Patins back in 2018. The skatepark is located right next to the train station in Oeiras in Jardim de Caxias park. The skatepark features a mix of bike and skate obstacles. Definitely a fun park to hit during the week, but can get crowded in the weekends.
