“The art messaging mural at Haulover Skate Park is a great way to increase safety for all who skateboard here,” said Commissioner Heyman. “This mural will be a positive influence for skateboard enthusiasts to be safe, wear a helmet and have fun skateboarding. I join with the community in thanking our Parks Department, KiDZ Neuroscience Center and Rey Jaffet for their time and talents.”Other Miami Dade Parks skate parks include Kendall Indian Hammocks Park, North Trail Park, Westwind Lakes Park, Country Village Park, and South Dade Park.

Not sure who they’re talking about in negative reviews.. @ least in .This is a little smaller than the one I’m used to in Hollywood Florida but it’s packed full of wonderful things. The swimming pool is inside and temperature controlled. The exercise room is fast and clean.

The park accommodates new and old skaters and the design is very creative, you could skate this park over and over and not feel limited at all. I come here to shake off rust but it’s always great to see the locals do some amazing stunts. It gets pretty crowded and can be frustrating with a bunch of kids, but even so everyone is respectful to one another. I fell they should open the park earlier, I’d love to skate at 8am and it would give a grace period for the kids.Awesome skatepark with a full half pipe and 3 concrete bowls. Newly renovated too! Jay was really helpful keeping me updated on the construction. Really nice to see the new improvements.

Amazing healthy entertainment option at El Portal. First covered skate park in Miami and probably only one in the country. Fun for all ages. The kids skate while I got a haircut and a bite to eat. They even have great brews! Tattoo parlor and skate shop on site! All in one place!!! Skate a UNESCO World Heritage Site Alcobaça is worth a visit for so many reasons. To start you have the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the imposing Alcobaça monastery, one of the most impressive and beautiful testimonies of the Cistercian architecture in Europe and features a fun street spot that we were able to skate with no problems. The skatepark in Alcobça is a gem. The park was built by Wasteland Skateparks who are known all around the Iberian Penisula for building premium quality parks. The crème de la crème. The bowl is tight, changeling and perfect. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After that we went to a street spot near the park. I don’t know who built this spot, but it seems like it was actually built by somebody that skates. It’s that good. Last weekend we were back on the road with the crew, this time with Keanu Schwedt, Patrick Costa and Margarida Cepeda. Menu of the weekend: Venda do Pinheiro, Lourinhã and Alcobaça skatepark. This roadtrip was made possible by Wasteland skateparks and Dropin surf camp who were brave enough to have us over for the weekend. In this episode of Skatepark Showcase, Park Sharks takes us to the Miami Beach Fl area at the Haulover Skateboard Park. There are 90,000 people in Miami Beach. The Haulover Skate Park is a very unique one. It has a street course and a very large pump track. We take you around the park with an in-depth look showcasing its strengths and weaknesses.Next spot on our mission to skate every skatepark in Portugal is Venda do Pinheiro skatepark, a gem built by Wasteland skateparks. Last weekend we were back on the road with the crew, this time with Keanu Schwedt, Patrick Costa and Margarida Cepeda. Menu of the weekend: Venda do Pinheiro, Lourinhã and Alcobaça skatepark. This roadtrip was made possible by Ripar skateshop, Wasteland skateparks and Dropin surf camp who were brave enough to have us over for the weekend. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The first park we hit was Venda do Pinheiro skatepark, located in Parque Ecológico Venda do Pinheiro park. The skatepark features a flowbowl built by the Portugese legends, Wasteland skateparks back in 2018. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for transition, flow and good vibes. Video production: Rodrigo Simaõ (Edit and filming) and Haroun Cherif (DJImini) Visit Venda do Pinheiro skatepark Next stop on our mission to visit all the skateparks in the world is the new Mafra skatepark in Portugal Now that we’ve almost mapped out all the skateparks in the world, it’s time for our next mission: visit them all. Special thanks to Bana skateshop for sponsoring our first spot, to Patrick Costa for the show and to Rodrigo Simão for filming and the video edit. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We started our trip to Mafra with a couple of street spots and then went to check out the new skatepark in Parque Desportivo Municipal de Mafra. The new 1.648,91 m2 Mafra skatepark is a wooden park, built by Academia dos Patins in 2023. Mafra skatepark is made up of 3 different sections, featuring a bowl, jump area and street section. Visit Mafra skatepark Our mission to skate every skatepark continues. This time we went to Pataias, a parish in the municipality of Alcobaça, on the West Portugal coast. Next to the Perforated Valley Beach and surrounded by trees, the park offers a combination of nature and skate, with a variety of obstacles that make sure you can ride multiple lines. The iodine from the Atlantic air enters deep into the pores, that’s a sign the beach is very close. A journey where we can fall on concrete or water. It’s good to have a menu of choices. Diversity is what Pataias Skatepark offers, with a variety of obstacles that provides multiple lines, with a pyramid dividing the park into a transition and street section. Who said a small park has to be boring? “When you have a bank with two quarterpipes it’s possible to go to the sides and not just back and forth. It’s a detail that matters deeply”, says João Sales, chairman of Wasteland Skateparks, the builder responsible for its construction in 2017. The broom is mandatory, but not because of human garbage. It’s the only drawback of having a pine forest as neighbour. But once it’s clean you’re ready for your fresh air session. Wasteland Skateparks carries the flag all the time: every park must be unique. This one, for instance, has a special feature: a single piece of pool coping on the quarterpipe. “There is nothing like this elsewhere in Portugal”, João Sales ensures, explaing why each skatepark must have its singularity: “There is so much to create in skateboarding, that it’s not worth to replicate ideas. The fun thing is to visit different parks and meet up with different people to learn from them and teach them at the same time.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Special note: Sunday might even be the best day if you want to skate and travel to Pataias, because the Sunday market, right next to the park, is the perfect way to finish off your session. The small tents with barbecue are irresistible, especially after a three-hour session where we gave it all. It was the perfect fuel for the next stage: a long and challenging downhill toward the Perforated Valley Beach (it’s how it is called, like if there was a hole in the valley). There is no greater sense of freedom than this. It’s the hidden secret of Pataias.

Haulover Park is one of two public beach parks operated by Miami-Dade County. The 177-acre park with 1.4 miles of beach front was acquired starting as early as “1935 and was then Dade County’s fourth major park”. The land that the park now sits on previously contained a “Lighthouse Restaurant, a trailer and small refreshment stand, and charter boat piers”. The Dade County Commission procured the beachfront property in 1940 and was then called North Beach.

Clothing Optional Beach: Located on the northern one-third of the beach between lifeguard towers #12 and #16, this family-friendly portion of the beach has been listed as one of the best in the nation to swim and sun-bathe without clothing, featuring beach chair and umbrella rentals, a food and beverage concession and showers conveniently located right on the beach.

They can also create a custom kite according to your desired specifications. “This was the first real time that I had several people helping me with painting the mural, many of which were volunteers and that takes a lot of trust in a way,” he said. “It showed they wanted to keep the park up and there was definitely a sense of community when creating it.” If the other parks are anything like the one in Haulover, they will be a huge hit with skaters. “I’ve been by the Haulover Park and the kids just love it,” said Dr. Hotz.“We thank our partners at the University of Miami Health System KiDZ Neuroscience Center and artist Ray Jaffet for providing a creative way to communicate vital safety messages to young skateboarders in a clear, concise, fun and interactive manner,” said Miami-Dade County Parks Director Maria I. Nardi. “It’s all part of our vision to safely connect people and parks for life throughout Miami-Dade County.”

The colorful mural features a looping design of octopus tentacles and brains embedded with safety tips and reminders to skateboarders to wear a helmet. Jaffet had help creating the mural.“There’s an organization called GIVE that Jonathan was very involved in and so when he passed, I really dove in and took on some of the things that he believed in and that that we believed in together,” said Jaffet. “I traveled the world with his parents painting murals in different countries as part of the GIVE Foundation. With GIVE we also created the Brothers Project.”Once Dr. Hotz met and spoke to Rey about her idea, and when Rey mentioned to her he’d been treated by her for a concussion in high school at the Neuroscience Center, the two went to meet with staff from the Department of Parks and Recreation and Operations.

“Our KiDZ Science Center already has a relationship with Miami-Dade Parks, they do helmet and bike safety initiatives and we already know everybody in parks,” she said. “That’s when I planted the bug in their ear about commissioning an urban artist to put in some safety messaging.”“I live in Bal Harbor and drive by that skate park every day and take my dog to the dog park there,” said Dr. Gillian Hotz, director of the UHealth Concussion Program, and director of the KiDZ Neuroscience Center, who is a nationally-renowned expert in concussions. “I would see kids on all these different apparatus without helmets and it just made me nuts!”
