Rua de Vitorino Frois 32, Caldas da Rainha, Leiria, Portugal.
Located beside the sports hall on Rua Vitorino Fróis, the Caldas da Rainha Skatepark is one of Portugal's oldest large skateparks. Built in 1998, the approximately 1,700 m² concrete facility combines street and transition elements, including a distinctive transition area, curbs, transfers, gaps, banks, quarters and a dedicated jumping area. The park has long been an important meeting point for the local skate and BMX communities.
The original skatepark was built in 1998 and was later rehabilitated in 2008. The technical design of the skatepark was carried out by A|Park (the former Academia dos Patins), while construction was undertaken by a general contractor. The name of the original construction contractor has not been reliably identified.
The park was originally constructed in wood before being replaced with the current concrete layout. Despite its age, its large bowl and varied technical features continue to make it a notable skatepark in the region.

Too bad the city hall is neglecting this park, because it needs some fixing.

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.
