Skatepark Expo
The skatepark located in the Parque das Nações area may well be one of the busiest in the city, and is very popular with four-wheeled board fans in Lisbon.
It has several ramps, handrails and a bowl area for skateboarding. It undoubtedly offers the best views, facing the Tagus River and the Vasco da Gama Bridge.
Address: Passeio do Tejo (Parque das Nações – North)
Vale de Chelas Urban Park
Not far from this is the Chelas skatepark, which serves everyone from Marvila to Areeiro, as well as anyone who wants to come along and show off their skills.
The whole area, including the Chelas skatepark, covers around 13 hectares and from there you can also see several agricultural plots and children’s playgrounds.
Address: Avenida Santo Condestável
Generations Park
Few skateparks can boast an incredible view like this one, directly out to sea in Cascais.
It’s highly sought after by those who already have some experience in the art of mastering the skateboard, and so it’s also normal to see those who don’t yet have many skills, who come here to learn from the best.
Address: Rua António Ferro (Cascais)
São Sebastião Skatepark
You can tell from the dilapidated appearance of some of the ramps that this is one of the oldest skateparks in Lisbon, located near the Rectory of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
It has several structures where you can practice your skills, as well as handrails for more complex tricks. As one of Lisbon’s cycle paths runs nearby, you can’t miss a chance to take a look.
Address: Rua Fialho de Almeida 17 (São Sebastião)
Fun Track
From skateboarding to rollerblading, Fun Track is a huge skating rink!
For a more active day, it’s the ideal place to take the kids for a skating or cycling lesson, even the older ones.
If you’ve already mastered extreme sports, you can rent bikes, skateboards, go-karts, rollerblades and streetsurfing boards!
Address: Doca de Alcântara Rocha (North)
Monsanto Skatepark
The Monsanto Forest Park is a real lung of the city, a favorite place for many outdoor sports lovers, who come here to run, walk, cycle and, of course, skate.
Completely refurbished in 2018, the Monsanto skatepark is very quiet and has several obstacles, ramps and handrails for all skateboarders who enjoy a good maneuver.
Address: Estrada de Montes Claros
Street Art Park in Lumiar
Inaugurated in June 2022, the Street Art Park was an initiative carried out by the Lisbon municipality and GAU – Galeria de Arte Urbana, with the aim of concentrating everything related to the world of urban arts in one place, from graffiti to mural artwork, among other performing arts such as break dancing, for example.
It is located in a garden, with a total area of 4,300m2, where you will find 14 free painting walls and a skateboarding area (Pump Track Skate), as well as other areas that can be used freely for different types of performances.
Address: Rua David Mourão Ferreira (Lumiar)
Loures Skatepark
The Loures skatepark is also one of the busiest around Lisbon, establishing itself as one of the city’s many park attractions.
It has a series of small ramps, rails and obstacles that thrill both experienced and less professional riders of this extreme sport.
Address: Passeio do Parque da Cidade, Parque Adão Barata (Loures)
IDB Rooftop
IDB Rooftop is one of the newest skateparks in Lisbon, but unfortunately its opening is seasonal, as it is only available during the summer period.
At this time of year, you can find people of all ages there, but especially the little ones, who take advantage of the free rollerblading and skateboarding lessons.
Address: Praça José Queirós 1 (Moscavide)
