Spots: New Jersey — Newark

Spot: One of New Jersey’s most beloved spots. This spot is a four block stretch of low marble ledges that slide and grind perfectly. About 50% of the entire spot has seen its fair share of wax, but the most frequently skated ends are in the center of the park, by the monument. The ground is a sidewalk surface, that is perfectly skateable, both in terms of flatground and the actual ledges, but may be a big rough on the plies of your tail if you happen to spend the whole day here.

Bust — ♦ / Rare: You will not get kicked out of here, but there may be crackheads and junkies passed out all over the ledges throughout the warmer seasons.

Location: Broad Street and Lombardy Street in Downtown Newark, right across from the IDT Telecom building. Take the A, C, E, 2, or 3 to World Trade Center. Transfer onto a Newark bound PATH train (occasionally, the Newark line will not be running; in that event, you will want to take a Journal Square bound train and transfer to a Newark train at Journal Square.) Take the train to the last stop (25-minute ride from the city.) Once you exit Newark Penn Station, skate west on Market Street for several blocks. Once you reach Broad Street (the main strip in downtown Newark), make a right, and skate north for six or seven blocks, past Military Park (it will be on your right) until you hit Lombardy Street. The spot is on your left / west side.
