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 in Odivelas, Lisbon, this park holds a special place in the hearts of skaters, both for its historical significance and its impressive evolution. Originally built as one of Portugal's first major skateparks, Odivelas has long been a gathering place for skateboarders of all levels. In 2020, the park underwent a major renovation led by Wasteland Skateparks and Apark, the former Academia dos Patins, bringing a fresh, modern feel to its well-loved features while preserving its raw essence.
