Nov 2006: Hudson River Park’s
Skate Park has been relocated to the area just north of 30th Street

FREE. Its drawing attraction is the big 6ft BOWL with pool coping.
It also has a 4(maybe 5ft)mini with extension. There are smaller
driveways with ledges and a rail. And also a larger version of
them on the other side of the park, lined up with a sort of double-kink
startbox that's attached to the bowl. Helmets required. Closes
at dusk. No Bikes. After labor day, it's
only open on the weekends, from 11am-6pm. |

the rest are flat bank ramps. The floor is a fine grade asphalt.
Yes, thats right, a blacktop in an indoor skatepark(ehhhh, you
street skaters will like it). Lotsa ledges and a few rails, pryamid/bauer
box. Could use more 1/4pipes(in place of the flat ramps) and a
big fat launchbox, heh! Helmet required. No bikes. Sessions are
