Rua da Chã 2, 16, Alqueidão da Serra, Portugal
Located within the Parque de Desporto e Lazer da Chã, this compact concrete skatepark sits alongside the asphalt pumptrack, BMX area, sports court and other recreational facilities. The skatepark consists of just three main obstacles: a quarterpipe, a bank and a bowl, creating a simple flow-oriented layout that works particularly well for beginners and riders learning transition.
The skatepark was designed and built by Wasteland Skateparks and was developed as a complement to the pumptrack already planned for the site. Wasteland describes the project as a small bowl and flow park, with a particularly distinctive quarterpipe finished with stone-style coping.
The wider project has an interesting history. The pumptrack was proposed through Porto de Mós's participatory budget in 2018, with a planned investment of €74,000. It was subsequently inaugurated in 2019, making it one of the earlier dedicated pumptracks in Portugal.
Together, the skatepark and pumptrack make the Parque de Desporto e Lazer da Chã an unusually complete wheeled-sports destination for such a small village.

O skatepark em si apesar de não ser muito grande dá para divertir bastante Tem uma bowl muito boa e alguns obstáculos em volta da mesma, é pena é a pumptrack já estar um pouco degradada e apresentar vários buracos, tornando difícil andar de skate na mesma O espaço do skatepark está muito bem aproveitado
The skate park element is great the pump track is abit rough to skate great on a bike though
Brand new concrete from Wasteland including a classic shape bowl, about 5ft in the shallow and 8ft deep end. The bowl is a fun ride, the transition is excellent but not enough flat at the bottom for the size. The coping is metal and of the larger gauge and more pronounced than modern builds, as is normal in Portugal. I rode 58mm bones stf’a and I was close to hooking up in certain sections where the coping sticks out further in the hip sections. There is a 4ft quarter outside the bowl with ‘pebble’ coping, quirky but would of preferred concrete or metal. As well, a couple of concrete pumps/jumps and a slappy curb to mix it up. Overall, good Crete and a smooth bowl with good geometry.
