The heart of skateboarding can be found in city plazas around the globe

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

Bros around the globe strike again. The focus is now on city plazas, the “ultimate hub for meeting and engaging with local skaters” during their travels. From Barcelona to New York, here is an alternative map of stoke with lots of tips. “Let’s just hope nobody calls security or the cops”.

A skateboarding trip to a new country delivers the opportunity to skate new spots and parks, explore unique cultures, indulge in authentic experiences, and connect with other skaters around the world. And when you can't find a skatepark, a city plaza is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the local skate scene when you've just arrived in a foreign land.

Bursting with energy, creativity, and a shared love for skateboarding, city plazas have become the ultimate hub for meeting and engaging with local skaters, artists, musicians, and other rad humans. Join me on a journey as we delve into why city plazas are the best places to connect with passionate like-minded individuals during your travels.

A Skateboarding Paradise

City plazas often offer an ideal environment for skateboarders, combining a variety of skate-friendly features that attract local riders. From perfectly smooth ground surfaces to an array of ledges, stairs, rails, and even skate parks nearby, plazas provide an exciting playground for skateboarders of any level. Plus, there’s always a convenience store just around the corner to grab a cold one, post-session. There’s no sound sweeter to a skateboarder than stomping a trick bolt on a marble slab, or the sound of a slappy on a freshly waxed curb. With shred-friendly features in place, city plazas have become a magnet for skateboarders. They’re a prime spot to witness the local talent, join in the session, or play a game of skate. Let’s just hope nobody calls security or the cops.

Community & Camaraderie

City plazas serve as a melting pot of diverse individuals from all walks of life, united by their shared passion for skateboarding. Skaters gather here not only to practice their craft but also to connect, exchange tips, and inspire one another. By immersing yourself in this environment, you'll be exposed to a vibrant community of skateboarders who are often more than willing to share their stories, experiences, and local insights. Need to know where to grab a tasty bite or a cool bar to go to? No worries, they got you! No matter where you find yourself in the world, a strong sense of camaraderie within the skateboarding community fosters a welcoming atmosphere. You may even leave with new friendships and unforgettable memories.

Cultural Fusion

Skateboarding transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, making it a universal language that brings people together. When you visit a city plaza and engage with the locals and skaters, you'll experience a unique blend of cultures and backgrounds. Skating can provide a deeper understanding of the local community's history, traditions, and even contemporary art. It's not uncommon to witness skateboarders incorporating cultural heritage elements into their tricks, fashion, or style, creating a beautiful fusion of skateboarding and local identity. This cultural exchange adds an extra layer of richness to your travel experience.

Unveiling Hidden Gems

While popular tourist attractions often steal the spotlight, city plazas provide a gateway to uncovering hidden gems within a destination. Skateboarders are often intimately familiar with their local surroundings, including lesser-known spots that showcase the city's true essence. By striking up conversations with local skateboarders in a plaza, you can tap into their extensive knowledge of the area, gaining access to secret skate spots, vibrant street art, independent shops, and even local cuisine. Embracing the insights of these insiders will allow you to go beyond the tourist traps and delve into the authentic soul of the city.

Inspiring Creativity and Growth

The Brooklyn Banks, Love Park, LA Courthouse, MACBA, Plaza De Colón, Southbank, Stalin Square, the list goes on. City plazas have long been catalysts for creativity, serving as a canvas for self-expression and pushing the boundaries of progression. Being surrounded by local skateboarders in such an environment will undoubtedly ignite your own style and creative spirit. Whether you're a seasoned skateboarder or a curious traveller, witnessing the tricks, styles, and innovations of local skaters can inspire new perspectives and encourage personal growth. The energy and dedication displayed by these individuals will leave an indelible mark on your own skateboarding journey, whether as a participant or an observer.

When exploring a new country, remember to include a city plaza on your itinerary to connect with local skateboarders. And when you can’t find a skatepark, a city plaza is most certainly your best bet to tap into the local skate scene. From the dynamic skateboarding environment to the vibrant community, cultural fusion, and hidden gems waiting to be discovered, these plazas offer a unique and enriching experience. Embrace the stoke, immerse yourself in the skateboarding world, and witness firsthand how the city plaza becomes the ultimate meeting point for skateboarders while traveling.

Tui skatepark – stop #84 on our European skate tour

Tui Skatepark – A Hidden Spot with Good Vibes on Our Euro Tour Sometimes, the best sessions happen in the most unexpected places. On our way from Lisbon to Vigo, we stumbled upon Tui Skatepark, a small but scenic spot tucked away in the border town of Tui, Spain.

A couple of rails, ledge, manual pad, some small ramps, and a basic layout that makes for a solid session if you’re just looking to mess around and cruise. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the location—surrounded by nature, with fresh air and good vibes all around. Even though the park itself isn’t a must-skate destination, it’s the kind of spot that reminds you why skateboarding is all about the journey. No matter where you are, there’s always something to skate, and that’s what keeps the adventure rolling. Check out our latest video to see what went down at Tui Skatepark! 🚀🔥

Cantelowes Skatepark: A London Skateboarding Landmark

Origins in the 1980s and Early Popularity of Cantelowes Skatepark Cantelowes Skatepark, located in Cantelowes Gardens in Camden, north London, traces its roots back to the late 1980s. The original skatepark was a basic concrete facility built by the local council, and by 2007 it was about 20 years old​. Despite its rough design (the concrete eventually cracked and the layout was considered rudimentary), the park quickly became a beloved spot for skaters from all over London​. Throughout the 1990s, Cantelowes developed a reputation as a core skate spot. Local skateboard jams were common – skaters would gather for informal contests or just to session the park together. ​ The original park’s simple banks and ramps still drew riders from across the city​. Many notable UK skateboarders of the era paid visits to Cantelowes. For example, in the late 90s pro skater Scott Palmer famously landed a high kickflip-to-fakie on Cantelowes’ steep concrete bank. Fellow British pros like John Rattray and Paul Shier also pulled off memorable tricks on that same bank (including a lofty melon grab over the fence and a caballerial flip), further cementing the park’s place in local skate lore​. Even earlier in the 90s, legendary UK photographer Skin Phillips shot Carl Shipman at Cantelowes for RAD magazine, an indication that the park was on the radar of the wider skateboarding media​. In short, by the turn of the millennium Cantelowes Skatepark was considered a historic part of London’s skate scene – scrappy and aging, but important as a gathering place and proving ground for skaters. Community-Driven Redevelopment in 2007 By the mid-2000s, it was clear that Cantelowes Skatepark needed a major upgrade. Camden Council initiated a £1.5 million redevelopment of Cantelowes Gardens, which included replacing the aging skatepark​. Rather than leave the design solely to hired contractors, a group of local skaters and BMXers – nicknamed the “Cantelocals” – became deeply involved in the project​. Veteran skaters Matt Elms, Jeremy Donaldson, Hareth Pochee and others volunteered their professional skills (in architecture, engineering and construction) to help plan and oversee a “world-class” skatepark rebuild on their old stomping ground​. The team secured funding (including a grant from Sport England) and collaborated with a skatepark contractor (Wheelscape) to make their vision a reality​. Construction took place in 2006–2007, and the new concrete park was completed in spring 2007. A launch party in April 2007 celebrated the reopening, drawing a huge crowd of skaters and families to Cantelowes Gardens; the atmosphere was “brilliant,” with music and a sense of pride in the community-built facility​. The rejuvenated Cantelowes Skatepark now featured modern, high-quality concrete obstacles and promised longevity that the old park lacked. Features and Evolution of the New Skatepark The 2007 reconstruction transformed Cantelowes into one of the premier skateparks in the UK. The design the Cantelocals came up with offers something for everyone – from beginners to seasoned pros. The centerpiece is a sprawling concrete bowl complex, often praised as one of the biggest and best outdoor bowls in Britain​. This bowl has multiple sections of varying depth (including a deep end with pool-style coping and a unique “cradle” or clam-shaped over-vertical section), plus hips and roll-in entry points that let skaters flow through different lines​. Wrapping around the bowl is an L-shaped street course, which incorporates flat banks, a large banked hip, ledges, manual pads, a rail and other street obstacles​. This mix of terrain means the park caters to various styles – riders can carve the bowl, then hop out to hit street lines along the perimeter. The entire park is all concrete, providing a smooth, fast surface (a deliberate choice to avoid the bumpy tarmac and noisy metal ramps that plagued lesser skateparks)​. Cantelowes also remained free to use and open to BMX riders, inline skaters and scooters as well, keeping with its roots as a community youth facility. Over the years since reopening, minor additions and wear-and-tear have occurred (some ledges are a bit worn now​), but overall the park’s layout remains as built in 2007. Importantly, Cantelowes Skatepark has continued to be a focal point for the skateboarding community – a place where young skaters hone their skills and veterans gather to skate for fun. Its combination of historic legacy and top-notch modern design makes it a must-visit spot. In fact, many describe it as “widely recognised as one of the biggest and best” skateparks in London, if not the entire country​. Notable Events, Tricks, and Famous Visitors Throughout its history, Cantelowes Skatepark has hosted numerous events and attracted famous skaters, further underlining its importance in the skate community. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the park saw grassroots “jam” competitions organized by locals – sessions that often became legendary. After the renovation, Cantelowes gained international attention when Quiksilver selected it as the UK venue for their Bowlriders contest series in 2007. This meant that out of all parks in the country, Cantelowes was chosen to host the British qualifier for a Europe-wide bowl-riding championship. The inaugural Quiksilver Bowlriders event at the new Cantelowes was a highlight: top bowl skaters from around the UK (and some from abroad) shredded the new bowl in front of a crowd. Local up-and-comer Ben Raemers took first place in the UK finals held at Cantelowes in May 2007, securing his spot to represent Britain at the Bowlriders finals in Malmö, Sweden​. This was a breakout moment for Raemers – who would go on to become a celebrated pro skater – and it firmly put Cantelowes on the map as a competition-grade park. The following year, Quiksilver Bowlriders returned to Cantelowes (May 2008) for another full day of “bowl orientated mayhem,” again drawing big names and solidifying the park’s reputation for hosting high-caliber events​. Cantelowes’ iconic bowl has also been the stage for some remarkable tricks captured in skate videos and magazines. During the Quiksilver contests, for instance, renowned Spanish skater Javier Mendizábal wowed onlookers by pulling a frontside rock-and-roll on the bowl’s cradle – a challenging move on an over-vertical feature – which he later recalled as a standout memory​. It was at that same event that Mendizábal met a young Ben Raemers for the first time, exemplifying how Cantelowes became a crossroads for international and local talent​. Over the years, various skate videos and demo reels have included footage at Cantelowes, taking advantage of its mix of obstacles; even the National Lottery featured the skatepark in a commercial, highlighting it as a successful community project (some of the funding for the park came via lottery grants). Prominent UK pro skaters such as Lucien Clarke and Chewy Cannon have been spotted at Cantelowes during London skate tours, and the park is frequently visited by traveling skaters from around the globe who want to test out its famed bowl. In the 2010s, Cantelowes also became a favorite training ground for younger skaters – for example, in interviews, London youth skaters have cited Cantelowes as one of their favorite places to skate, noting the “massive” bowl and the camaraderie they find there​. Importance to the Skateboarding Community Cantelowes Skatepark’s evolution from a humble 1980s local spot to a modern, world-class facility encapsulates a larger story of the UK skateboarding community. It stands as a testament to skaters taking initiative – the 2007 rebuild was community-driven, resulting in a park built by skaters, for skaters. This has made Cantelowes a source of pride in London’s skate scene. The park provides a free, outdoor space where generations of skaters have learned to drop in, refine their kickflips, or attempt their first airs in a bowl. Its location in Camden – long known for alternative culture and youth activities – further anchors skateboarding as part of the local community fabric. Cantelowes has hosted charity skate jams, lessons for kids (local skate coaches often use it for teaching), and it draws a diverse crowd of riders. As one North London skate club described it, Cantelowes offers “a lot to offer both beginners and the more experienced skater,” creating a welcoming atmosphere for all​. In terms of legacy, Cantelowes is frequently mentioned alongside other historic London skate spots like South Bank and Harrow. However, unlike some spots that have faced threats of closure or redevelopment, Cantelowes benefited from proactive investment and continues to thrive. Its successful renovation has even served as a model for other communities – showing how involving local skaters can result in facilities that truly meet the needs of the scene. Today, Cantelowes Skatepark is both a high-quality skate destination and a living piece of London skateboarding history. From the days of cracked concrete and DIY contests in the 90s, to hosting pro competitions and video shoots in the 2000s, and now anchoring a new generation of skaters, Cantelowes has continually evolved while maintaining its core spirit. In the words of one skater involved in its rebuild, there has always been “a lot of excitement about this in the skateboarding world”​– a sentiment that remains true as Cantelowes Skatepark carries its legacy forward.Visist Cantelowes skatepark on skate map

Stockwell Skatepark: London's Iconic OG Concrete Playground

Stockwell Skatepark: The OG Brixton Bowls Spot If you’ve ever skated London, you probably already know about Stockwell Skatepark—aka Brixton Bowls or Brixton Beach. This legendary spot has been holding it down since 1978, making it one of the oldest skateparks in the UK. It’s a pure concrete paradise, no nonsense, just raw flow, speed, and a legacy of skaters carving lines here for decades. The Setup Stockwell isn’t your standard skatepark with ledges, rails, and perfect transitions. Instead, it’s an organic, free-flowing landscape designed by Lorne Edwards, the same dude who built the first UK skatepark in Portland, Dorset. The park has a huge snake run, tons of bumps, and a new bowled corner with coping, making it a dream for transition skaters. The fresh quarter pipe along the northern wall adds even more ways to keep your lines going. The Vibes The scene at Stockwell is as iconic as the park itself. BMXers, bladers, and skaters of all generations keep the energy high. Whether you're a local or just rolling through, there's always someone throwing down lines or just chilling with a beer, soaking up the Brixton sun. The place is fully free and open 24/7, so whether you’re an early morning cruiser or a night shredder, Stockwell is always ready. The Revamp Stockwell has seen some love over the years, and in 2022, it got a massive £500,000 refurb. Lambeth Council teamed up with Friends of Stockwell Skatepark and Betongpark to refresh the surface, enhance the flow, and add some much-needed updates while keeping the original charm. They brought back the red concrete, giving a nod to its 90s and 2000s golden era, and even installed a plaque dedicated to Lorne Edwards and another for BMX legend Charlie Reynolds. How to Get There Stockwell Skatepark is super easy to find, sitting right on Stockwell Road (SW9 9TN). If you’re coming by tube, Brixton Station (Victoria Line) is just a short push away, and tons of buses (2, 196, 322, 333, 345, N2) drop you close by. Why You Gotta Hit It This is one of those parks that never gets old. It’s not about perfect tricks or playing skatepark chess—Stockwell is all about speed, flow, and creativity. The lines are endless, the history is deep, and the locals keep it real. If you love skating, you owe it to yourself to carve a few laps at Brixton Bowls. Keep the legacy rolling!Visit Stockwell skatepark on skate map

Saintes Bowl Skatepark – A 70s Skateboarding Relic Still Ripping in France

Saintes Bowl Skatepark – The Ultimate 70s Skateboarding Relic If you're rolling through France hunting for concrete history, Saintes Bowl Skatepark is a must-hit. Built in 1978, this old-school beast in Saintes, Charente-Maritime, is a time capsule of transition skating, a place that has seen skateboarding evolve while keeping its roots deep in raw concrete. It’s one of the oldest surviving skateparks in France, and if you love flowing lines, deep bowls, and that pure 70s skate energy, you need to check this spot out. The Story Behind the Concrete Back in the late 70s, when skateboarding was just catching fire in Europe, a bunch of die-hard French skaters came together to fight for a proper spot to ride. Their push paid off, and in 1978, Saintes became home to one of France’s first real skateparks—complete with a gnarly snake-run feeding into two big bowls. The design was straight out of the early skatepark playbook: pure carve-and-flow vibes, built for high-speed slashing and old-school pool-style skating. Unlike so many other early parks that got bulldozed when skating dipped in the 80s, Saintes survived. The concrete stayed, the lines stayed, and even when street skating took over, the bowl stayed waiting. Fast forward 46 years, and Saintes Bowl is still serving up some of the smoothest lines in France. The Spot – What to Expect Saintes Bowl isn’t your typical modern skatepark—it’s a certified transition paradise. The main attraction? A killer snake-run that funnels speed straight into the deep bowls. If you’re into surfing concrete, this place is built for speed, flow, and aggressive grinds. The graffiti-covered walls and worn-in transitions tell the story of decades of skaters leaving their mark. It’s DIY in spirit, but the concrete holds up, and the locals keep it alive. Over the years, BMX riders and skaters alike have kept this place running, and while newer parks have popped up in Saintes, nothing beats this OG bowl. Who’s Shredded Here? This spot has legendary status in French skate culture. Some of the earliest French transition skaters, including pioneers from Bordeaux and Paris, used to session here in the late 70s and early 80s. Through the 90s and early 2000s, skaters on European road trips made pilgrimages to Saintes to experience one of France’s original skatepark builds. No, it’s not as famous as Marseille’s Prado Bowl, but real ones know. If you’ve ever flipped through a French skate mag, chances are you’ve seen shots of someone tearing up the snake-run at Saintes. It’s been featured in local skate zines, YouTube edits, and underground transition documentaries, all celebrating the pure speed and surfy flow this park delivers. Featured in Skate Media Saintes Bowl has appeared in various French skate magazines, blogs, and local news features. It’s been called a “skateboarding relic” and one of the last surviving 70s parks in Europe. While it hasn’t been in massive productions like Thrasher tours, it’s a staple in French skate history and keeps getting rediscovered by new generations. You’ll find footage of the snake-run getting slashed by transition heads on YouTube, and there are a few legendary road trip videos from skaters who hit Saintes along with other old-school concrete parks. If you’re looking for a raw, untouched, no-frills bowl experience, this is the spot. Why You Need to Skate Saintes If you love bowls, speed lines, and history under your wheels, Saintes is calling. It's not just another skatepark; it’s a piece of European skateboarding heritage that’s still shreddable today. Whether you’re into high-speed carves, classic 70s transitions, or just want to session a place that has stood the test of time, Saintes Bowl is an experience every real skater needs.📍 Spot Details: Location: Saintes, Charente-Maritime, France

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.
