Rua Ordem de Santiago, 2630-244 Arruda dos Vinhos, Portugal
Arruda dos Vinhos Skatepark is a small metal modular park located on Rua Ordem de Santiago in the Casal do Telheiro area. The straightforward back-and-forth layout consists of a jump box, quarterpipe, bank, ledge and handrail, providing basic street and transition options for local riders.
The park sits within an area that has seen considerable urban and recreational development. The municipality's Parque Urbano de Arruda dos Vinhos project was launched through an architectural competition in 2015, although this does not appear to be evidence that the skatepark itself was constructed as part of that project.
I could not find a reliable source confirming the skatepark's exact construction or opening year, so I would not assign one yet. The municipality's current sports-facilities directory confirms the location at Rua Ordem de Santiago – Urbanização Casal do Telheiro, but does not provide a date for the skatepark.
It is not a destination park, but it provides a useful local facility for the town — better than nothing, and sometimes that's exactly what a small-town skatepark needs to be.

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.
