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 at Rua Bela Flor in the Campolide district, the Quinta da Bela Flor spot is a hidden architectural gem for skaters who love transition-style street skating. Part of an urban park project designed to connect the Monsanto forest to the city center, this spot is defined by its sculptural concrete work and unique slopes. Unlike the flat plazas of downtown, Bela Flor is all about momentum and creative lines.
The spot is a series of interconnected concrete pathways and public spaces that utilize the natural incline of the hill. It is widely considered one of the best "bank" spots in Lisbon.
Train: The Campolide Train Station (Sintra/Azambuja Lines) is a 10-minute walk away. From the station, you'll have a bit of an uphill trek, but it’s a great warm-up.
Bus: Several Carris lines serve the Campolide area, including the 702 and 712, which stop on the main roads surrounding the Quinta da Bela Flor park.
Car: There is street parking available along Rua Bela Flor and the nearby residential blocks. Since it’s a newer residential/park development, finding a spot is usually easier than in the city center.
Walking: If you are skating the Avenidas Novas or Eduardo VII Park, Bela Flor is a short but hilly skate across the Campolide bridge.

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.
