Trucks and Fins is a huge present to the whole skate community - not just for the skating people, but also for shops, builders and schools. Super easy to use and can't believe how complete it is.

Located in the Algodeia area of Setúbal, this 850 m² concrete skatepark was created to replace the city's famous old spot in front of the Convent of Jesus, which disappeared during the convent's redevelopment. The new park combines a technical street section with a classic kidney-shaped bowl, offering a mixture of stairs, ledges, banks, rails, ramps and transition terrain.
The skatepark was designed by Francisco “França” Lopez (SkateLopez), with the local skateboarding community actively involved throughout the design process. Riders contributed suggestions about the obstacles, lines and dynamics they wanted to see in the new facility, making this a particularly community-driven project.
The park was originally scheduled to open on 15 March 2020, but the inauguration was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was ultimately officially inaugurated on 30 May 2020. The €150,000 project was financed by Grupo Supera as part of the commitments associated with its new sports complex in Setúbal.
The result is a compact but varied park that gives Setúbal's skaters a proper dedicated facility after the loss of the city's historic Convento de Jesus spot. The layout particularly favours street skating, while the kidney-shaped bowl provides a mellow transition option at the opposite end of the park.

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
