Bombarral skatepark tour in Portugal

Continuing our mission to skate every skatepark in Portugal, our next stop brought us to Bombarral, a small town situated in the Lisbon District.

Our attention turned to Bombarral Skatepark, which, to be frank, falls short of being one of the best skateparks in the region. However, with the determination to make the most of our visit, we gathered a special crew consisting of Tiago Miguel, Rodrigo Russo, and Rodrigo Simão. Despite the park's shortcomings and in need of repair, our goal was to infuse it with our vibe and style, striving to make something seemingly lackluster appear extraordinary.

Bombarral

Bombarral, with its close-knit community and modest population, offers a unique glimpse into the authentic Portuguese lifestyle. Nestled within the picturesque Lisbon District, the town boasts a tranquil atmosphere and a blend of historical and contemporary elements. While Bombarral may not be known for its skateboarding scene or extraordinary landmarks, its simplicity and unassuming charm provided a refreshing change of pace. We approached Bombarral Skatepark with the mindset of elevating it beyond its limitations and showcasing the transformative power of skateboarding.

Bombarral Skatepark

Bombarral Skatepark, while certainly in need of repair and lacking in standout features, became our canvas for creativity. Instead of bemoaning its condition, we took the opportunity to reimagine the space. We did our best to make even the simplest elements look remarkable. This skate session served as a testament to the power of a passionate crew, showcasing that with the right mindset and determination, any skatepark can become a platform for self-expression and inspiration.

While Bombarral Skatepark may not have left a lasting impression as one of Portugal's top skateparks, the experience in Bombarral itself was a reminder of the beauty in finding joy in unexpected places. Our visit to Bombarral Skatepark became a reminder that sometimes it's not about the quality of the park, but rather the spirit and enthusiasm we bring to it. Every skatepark holds the potential for transformation and self-expression, regardless of its initial condition.

In conclusion, Bombarral Skatepark in the heart of Bombarral may not have ranked among the best skateparks, but it provided a unique opportunity for us to showcase the transformative power of skateboarding. Bombarral, with its humble charm and simplicity, served as a reminder that skateboarding is about more than just the location—it's about the passion, creativity, and camaraderie that can turn any skatepark into a canvas for self-expression and fun.

The new Gondomar skatepark in Portugal - A Premier Destination for Skaters in Portugal

The new Gondomar skatepark built by Wasteland SkateparksIn the heart of Gondomar, Portugal, the city has unveiled an impressive new skatepark, transforming a once-unused area beneath the A43 viaduct into a state-of-the-art recreational complex. Officially inaugurated on August 3, 2024, the park is a testament to the city’s commitment to providing high-quality, multifunctional spaces that cater to a wide variety of sports and leisure activities. From skateboarding to basketball, padel, and football, the park spans 16,500 square meters and has quickly become a top attraction in the Porto metropolitan area. Designed by architect Marcelo Lambiasi and built by the Portuguese legends Wasteland skateparks, the skatepark stands out with its innovative design that makes full use of Gondomar’s natural landscape. With a 1,300-square-meter skate area, this facility includes both a “street” section equipped with rails, ledges and banks and a medium-sized bowl, perfect for fluid, dynamic skating. The street elements mimic urban architecture, providing endless possibilities for technical tricks, while the bowl’s smooth curves offer skaters the freedom to flow and build momentum. The park is crafted from durable materials like granite, steel, and concrete, ensuring its longevity while also reflecting a clean, modern aesthetic​. With an investment of €1.5 million, the Parque Urbano de Ramalde marks a key addition to Gondomar’s network of urban parks. By creating spaces that appeal to a variety of interests, the city aims to improve local quality of life, promote physical activity, and make Gondomar a top destination for residents and visitors alike.
