La Iglesia Skate Church in Spain - Spot Check Spain

What they said back in the 90’s "Heaven is a Halfpipe"... This park is a stunning place to visit! In 2015 they transformed the 200 years old abandoned church into a skaters dream. It’s not just a miniramp in a church. It's the colorful graffiti artwork by Okuda that is breathtaking and makes this place worth a vist. My advise... take your time to check it closely if you are there! The open Bowl/Miniramp had it’s best days cause the surface of the ramp has some holes and cracks (Oct 2021) but it’s a well built ramp and loads of fun. A handful people just travel to that place to take some shots, so most of the time there are no skaters and you’re kind of „alone". An old Lady (the wife of the original owner of the church) opened the doors for us, she just speaks spanish, but she is a lovely soul and really liked to see us skating in that place. The entree for the church is free but we decided to donate 15€ to keep that place alive and hope that some day the ramps get a new surface. Copy and paste to keep such places alive!

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
