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. As one of the largest skateparks in Portugal, Gondomar's latest attraction is setting a new standard for recreational spaces in the region.Visit Gondomar skatepark on map

São Domingos de Rana skatepark Tour EP50

São Domingos de Rana skatepark in Portugal. Is it worth a visit?Park number 50 on our mission to skate every park in Portugal is an unusual one, located in São Domingos de Rana, near Cascais. While it might not be a bucket list destination for skaters in this region, I personally view every park as a gift and try to remain positive about parks, because there are still so many countries in the world without even a single skatepark. Take Tunisia, for example—they've just opened their very first concrete park. I’m certain that skaters there would be thrilled with a park like this one. But positiveness aside, personally I think it's a shitty park, but it's better than nothing.Crew Tiago Miguel, Buga, Patrick Costa, Margarida Cepeda, Guilherme Felisberto Visit São Domingos de Rana skatepark on our skate map
