Alcochete skatepark - Spot Check in Portugal

Text and photos by Haroun Cherif.

You have these spots that once you arrive, you straight away know you are going to go back and Alcochete skatepark is one of those parks.

When you think you have found all the parks in Portugal, you discover one more. A while back we got an email from Antonio with the GPS location of a supposed skatepark in Alcochete, that still wasn't on our map. So, we decided to drive to Alcochete and do a spot check, take some photos, play around with the drone a bit and have a little session. The skatepark itself is pretty basic. The park is made up of a miniramp, two flatrails and a quarter. What makes this place special is the location. It's located bang on the artificial beach of Praia dos Moinhos and has a bar/restaurant to finish off your session.

Definitely going back here, that's for sure, because it's a nice place to visit and chill for the day.

Funny note to end: When I was at the park I started talking to one of the local skaters to learn a bit more about the local skate scene. Funny enough the skater I was talking to turned out to be Antonio who had send us the location.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
