Trinidad Skatepark – Dream Skatepark in Colorado with Amazing Vert
Trinidad Skatepark is an amazing skatepark in the southeastern corner of Colorado. This skatepark seems so far from the rest of the Colorado skate scene, but don't let that deter you. This is definitely one of the best skateparks in Colorado. Heck, I'd say this is among the best skateparks in the country! I had a blast cement surfing this entire skatepark with my longboard.

Our travels through Colorado led us the 23,000 square foot concrete Pueblo Skatepark inside the larger El Centro del Quinto Sol park. The skatepark was built in 2016 by Team Pain skateparks with a unique layout that has multiple different sections spread out around the park. This is a large skatepark that is good for riders of any skill level. Plus, both street and vert skaters will enjoy this skatepark.
