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.

Vizela Skatepark is a 400 m² modular skatepark built on top of the Túnel da Cor, alongside the urban cycle path near the centre of Vizela. The facility was created specifically for skateboarding but also accommodates BMX, scooters and inline skating, with ramps, stairs, rails, manual pads, a pyramid and ledges.
The project originated as a youth participatory-budget proposal. A skatepark was first submitted to Vizela's participatory budget in 2019, and the project was subsequently selected in the 2020 edition. The municipality originally allocated €15,000, but the project was redesigned for the unusual location above the tunnel and the final investment increased to approximately €50,000.
Construction began in March 2022, with the municipality adapting the original proposal to fit the space above the tunnel. The skatepark was officially inaugurated on 7 May 2022.
The park's elevated location is probably its most unusual feature. Rather than occupying a conventional open plot, it sits directly above the tunnel, with the cycle path running alongside it. The result is a compact urban skatepark squeezed into an otherwise difficult piece of municipal land.
The builder/designer has not yet been confirmed from the municipal sources I found.

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.
