February means something extra special in Porto: free skate classes are back this month at Ramalde Sports Centre.

Want to learn how to improve your confidence and skating ability? You can still do that as skating lessons are available for everyone at Ramalde Sports Park. Classes are held every Saturday and Sunday, between 10am and 12pm.

Classes are free, but prior registration is mandatory, as there are only 20 available slots per class, via email desporto@agoraporto.pt.

Classes are available the following dates: 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, 23 and 29 February and also 1st March.

This modern skate park, at Ramalde Sports Complex, was recently inaugurated, on 24th November. Porto City Hall invested circa 150 thousand euros in this 950 square meter, designed by architect and skater Francisco Lopez "França", can house up to 55 skateboarders and skaters simultaneously.

These enthusiasts will be able to enjoy a true skate park and not just a street spot, with the venue offering half-pipes, quarter pipes, spine transfers, handrails, fun boxes, vert ramps, pyramids, banked ramps, full pipes, pools, bowls, snake runs, and stair sets, just to mention a few.  

The Skate Park is now available to the entire Skater community but also to BMX, scooter, wheelchair, and aggressive inline skating aficionados.
